Hróðr gerk of mǫg mæran
meirr Sigrøðar fleira;
haptsœnis galtk hônum
heið; sitr Þórr í reiðu.
Gerk meirr fleira hróðr of mæran mǫg Sigrøðar; galtk hônum heið haptsœnis; Þórr sitr í reiðu.
I compose even more praise about the famous son of Sigrøðr [= Hákon jarl]; I paid him the honour of the gods’ reconciliation [POEM]; Þórr <god> sits in his chariot.
