ESk Run 10II/4 — mildings ‘with the munificent one’

Skark súðum sund
fyr sunnan Hrund;
mín prýddisk mund
við mildings fund.

Skark sund súðum fyr sunnan Hrund; mund mín prýddisk við fund mildings.

I cut the sea with ship-sides south of Runde; my hand was adorned at the meeting with the munificent one.

readings

[4] við mildings fund: ‘[...]’ B, ‘uid mildings funnd’ 744ˣ

notes

[4] við fund mildings ‘at the meeting with the munificent one’: According to Hkr (ÍF 28, 331), Eysteinn was sínkr ok fégjarn ‘stingy and greedy’, but the encomium must have appealed to the generous side of his personality.
