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.
[7] í Sámseyju ‘in … Samsø’: This is the Danish island of Samsø, lying north of Fyn (Funen) and between Jylland (Jutland) and Sjælland (Zealand). The prose passage introducing these stanzas states that Ǫgmundr anchored in Munarvágr, lit. ‘Bay of Desire’ before his followers went ashore and found the trémaðr; this unidentified bay, again on Samsø, is also mentioned in Heiðr 18a/2, 27/8 and Ǫrv 7/2; see Notes there.
