Anon Hsv 43VII/5 — íþróttir ‘skills’

Ef þér erfingja        auðit verðr,
        ok ertu fáskrúðigr at fé,
jóðum þínum        kenn þú íþróttir,
        þær er þeim fæzlu fái.

Ef þér verðr erfingja auðit, ok ertu fáskrúðigr at fé, kenn þú jóðum þínum íþróttir, þær er fái þeim fæzlu.

If you come to have an heir and you are poor in possessions, teach your children the skills which may provide them with food.
