Anon (Ragn) 8VIII (Ragn 38)/2 — er ‘when’

Þat var fyrir löngu,         er í leið megir
Heklings fóru         hlumtungum
fram um salta         slóð birtinga;
þá varð ek þessa         þorps ráðandi.

Þat var fyrir löngu, er megir Heklings fóru í leið hlumtungum fram um salta slóð birtinga; þá varð ek ráðandi þessa þorps.

It was long ago when the sons of Heklingr went on their way with oar-handle tongues [OAR BLADES] over the salt track of sea-trout [SEA]; then I became the ruler of this habitation.
