Anon Heil 11VII/7 — tigi

Dýrðarmann kvað dauða verðan
Dómiciánus kóngr af Róma;
Rustícum fyr Jésú ástir
Elutéríum bauð að kvelja.
Lifnaðar smiðr í loganda ofni
leingi stóð og sakaði eingu;
næri hafði níu tigi ára
náðar valdr, er þrautir háði.

Dómiciánus, kóngr af Róma, kvað dýrðarmann dauða verðan; bauð að kvelja Rustícum Elutéríum fyr ástir Jésú. Smiðr lifnaðar stóð leingi í loganda ofni og sakaði eingu; valdr náðar hafði næri níu tigi ára, er háði þrautir.

Domicianus, king of Rome, declared the glorious man deserving of death; he commanded Rusticus [and] Elutherius to be tormented for their love of Jesus. The smith of the [good] life [HOLY MAN = Dionysius] stood for a long time in a burning oven and suffered no harm; the possessor of mercy [HOLY MAN = Dionysius] was almost ninety years old, when he engaged in his struggles.
