Hringlestir gekk hraustan
herjum kunnr at gunni.

The ring-breaker [GENEROUS MAN], known to people, went bravely to battle.

notes

[1] hraustan ‘bravely’: According to Óláfr, acc. hraustan is used adverbially (TGT 1927, 51): Hér er þetta nafn, hraustan, sett fyrir þessu viðrorði, hraustliga ‘Here this nomen “brave” is used instead of the adverb “bravely”’. Cf. Nj 1875-89, II, 642 and Note to ÞKolb Eirdr 2/5I ólítinn, which cites the ModIcel. að fara mikinn, lit. ‘to go all out’ (so ÍF 26, 276 n.).
