Anon (TGT) 38III/4 — þér ‘for you’

At kom gangandi,        þar es jǫfrar bǫrðusk;
helt hann upp hǫfði:        ‘hér es þér skattr, sultan.’

Gangandi kom at, þar es jǫfrar bǫrðusk; hann helt upp hǫfði: ‘hér es þér skattr, sultan.’

Walking, he arrived where the princes were fighting; he held up a head: ‘here’s treasure for you, sultan.’

readings

[4] þér: so W, om. A

notes

[3, 4] hann; þér ‘he; for you’: These words are supplied from W for metrical reasons. The first two lines indicate that the metre is málaháttr, but A lacks sufficient syllables in ll. 3-4.
