Sás af Íslandi
arði barði.
Sás arði barði af Íslandi.
The one who ploughed [the sea] with the prow away from Iceland.
[1] barði (dat. sg.) ‘with the prow’: Barð was frequently used to refer to a ship pars pro toto (cf. Jesch 2001a, 148-50). The metaphor of ploughing here, however, is more suggestive of the prow cutting through the sea.
