And the many-virtued ground of the fire of the cliff of the hawks [(lit. ‘fire-ground of the hawks’ cliff’) ARM > GOLD > WOMAN] longed for the shores of her homeland after she had found her sons. The stick of the fen-fire [GOLD > WOMAN] quickly asked the esteemed commander of the army to give her escort to the land of the Langobards [= Italy].
[2] stranda: ‘[...]’ 673b, 673bÞH, 673bFJ, ‘branda’(?) 673bSE, ‘stranda’(?) 673bSkjA

Sveinbjörn Egilsson read (or conjectured?) branda, but had to emend til to á vit to make sense of the text.
