Anon Heil 26VII/1 — norðr ‘north’

Völdugir norðr í Valland hieldu;
vilja þeir með keisarann skilja;
Díocleciánus dauða nýjan
dæmir þeim, er trúna sæma.
Maurícíus og menn hans færa
meingið hjó, sem skipi þeingill.

Völdugir hieldu norðr í Valland; þeir vilja skilja með keisarann; Díocleciánus dæmir þeim, er sæma trúna, nýjan dauða. Meingið hjó Maurícíus og hans færa menn, sem þeingill skipi.

The powerful ones headed north into Gaul; they want to part company with the emperor; Diocletian condemns those who honour the faith to a new death. The crowd slew Maurice and his able men, as the ruler commanded.
