Anon Sól 63VII/3 — eign ‘of property’
Menn sá ek þá, er mörgum hlutum
véltu um annars eign;
flokkum þeir fóru til Fégjarns borgar
ok höfðu byrðar af blýi.
Ek sá menn þá, er véltu um eign annars mörgum hlutum; þeir fóru flokkum til borgar Fégjarns ok höfðu byrðar af blýi.
I saw men then, who had defrauded another of property in many things; they travelled in crowds to Fégjarn’s fortress, and carried burdens of lead.

notes
[3] eign ‘property’: The mss again divide between eign f. and eigu from eiga f., both with the same sense. Although eiga is attested in poetry, e.g. Lok 65 and Sigsk 47, eign is to be preferred here because it produces a metrical l., whereas eigu does not.
