Eldj Lv 2II/3 — heyrðak ‘I’ve heard’

Frák, at flótta rôkuð
— falsk annat lið manna —
— þar vas harðr, es heyrðak,
hernaðr — á Foxerni.
Varð hjalmþrimu herðis
hár, þars staddir vôruð,
gangr, þars gauzka drengi
Giffarðr í hel barði.

Frák, at rôkuð flótta á Foxerni; annat lið manna falsk; þar vas harðr hernaðr, es heyrðak. Gangr herðis hjalmþrimu varð hár, þars vôruð staddir, þars Giffarðr barði gauzka drengi í hel.

I heard that you pursued those who fled at Fuxerna; the other host of men hid; it was hard fighting there, as I’ve heard. The success of the strengthener of the helmet-crash [BATTLE > WARRIOR] was immense where you stood, when Giffarðr beat Gautish warriors to death.
