Anon Mey 42VII/2 — þorp ‘villages’

Ánastásía aura sína
alla gaf sem þorp og hallir;
klæði færði hun kristnum lýðum;
kvinnan blíð var tekin um síðir.
Hreina mey liet Próbus pína;
prúður lifði geisli brúða
hundrað daga, svá að hvörki kendi
hold mæðanda víns nie fæðu.

Ánastásía gaf alla aura sína sem þorp og hallir; hun færði klæði kristnum lýðum; um síðir var blíð kvinnan tekin. Próbus liet pína hreina mey; prúður geisli brúða lifði hundrað daga, svá að mæðanda hold kendi hvörki víns nie fæðu.

Anastasia gave away all her money as well as villages and halls; she brought clothes to Christian people; eventually the gentle woman was captured. Probus had the pure maiden tormented; the beautiful light-beam of brides lived for one hundred days, in such a way that her weary flesh tasted neither wine nor food.
