Anon Nkt 19II/4 — bezta ‘best’

Missti lítt,
sús lǫgum stýrði,
rekka kind,
ráðs ins bezta,
þá es norðr
í Nóregi
kristinn mann
til konungs tóku.

Kind rekka, sús stýrði lǫgum, missti lítt ins bezta ráðs, þá es tóku kristinn mann til konungs norðr í Nóregi.

The offspring of heroes, who controlled the laws, little lacked the best counsel when they elected a Christian man king north in Norway.
