Anon (Hálf) 2VIII (Hálf 5)/2 — um ‘up’

Ek sé Hringju         haug um orpinn,
en Hera hníga         hvátinn spjóti.
Sé ek Hjörleifi         haptbönd snúin,
en Hreiðari         höggvinn gálga.

Ek sé haug um orpinn Hringju, en Hera hníga hvátinn spjóti. Ek sé haptbönd snúin Hjörleifi, en gálga höggvinn Hreiðari.

I see a burial mound thrown up for Hringja and [see] Heri fall dead, pierced by a spear. I see captive bonds twisted for Hjǫrleifr and gallows hewn for Hreiðarr.
