ESk Geisl 60VII/4 — skorin ‘cut’

Tungan vas með tangar
tírkunns numin munni
(vasa sem vænst) ok þrysvar
(viðrlíf) skorin knífi.
Auðskiptir lá eptir
(ǫnd lætr maðr) á strǫndu
(margr of minni sorgir)
meinsamliga hamlaðr.

Tungan tírkunns vas numin með tangar munni ok þrysvar skorin knífi; vasa viðrlíf sem vænst. Auðskiptir lá eptir á strǫndu meinsamliga hamlaðr; margr maðr lætr ǫnd of minni sorgir.

The tongue of the one accustomed to praise was taken by the tong’s mouth and cut three times with a knife; that was not a very hopeful treatment. The wealth-distributor [MAN] remained lying on the beach painfully mutilated; many a man gives up the ghost from fewer afflictions.
