Anon (Ragn) 9VIII (Ragn 39)/1 — því ‘so’

Ok því settu mik         svarðmerðlingar
suðr hjá salti,         synir Loðbróku.
Þá var ek blótinn         til bana mönnum
í Sámseyju         sunnanverðri.

Ok því settu mik svarðmerðlingar, synir Loðbróku, suðr hjá salti. Þá var ek blótinn til bana mönnum í sunnanverðri Sámseyju.

And so head-dress wearers, sons of Loðbróka, set me up in the south by the sea. At that time I was worshipped to the death of men in the southern part of Samsø.

notes

[1] ok því ‘and so’: These words might suggest that this stanza and the next originally formed part (perhaps the end) of a longer sequence; Heusler and Ranisch (Edd. Min. lxxxii) suggested that they represented a somewhat awkward attempt to link Ragn 39 and 40 to Ragn 38, with which, in their view, they did not originally belong.
