Anon Pl 43VII/7 — ǫflugs ‘of the powerful’

Fúss gerði veg vísi
— varð gramr feginn harða,
heim es happs kom geymir —
hringlestanda mestan.
Setti þengill Þróttar
þingbeiði fðingja
ǫflugs lýðs, ok auði
ulfs fœði tók gœða.

Vísi gerði fúss mestan veg hringlestanda; gramr varð harða feginn, es geymir happs kom heim. Þengill setti Þróttar þingbeiði fðingja ǫflugs lýðs, ok tók gœða fœði ulfs auði.

The ruler eagerly bestowed the greatest honour on the ring-destroyer [GENEROUS MAN]; the king became very glad when the minder of good luck [MAN] came home. The prince appointed the demander of the assembly of Þróttr <= Óðinn> [(lit. ‘the assembly-demander of Þróttr’) BATTLE > WARRIOR] leader of the powerful troop and began to endow the feeder of the wolf [WARRIOR] with riches.
