Gísl Magnkv 19II/3 — of ‘above’

Hol merki blés,        en Huginn gladdisk
fránn, of hǫfði        feðr Sigurðar.
Þann sák fylki        með frama mestum
snǫrpu sverði        til sigrs vega.

Hol merki blés of hǫfði feðr Sigurðar, en fránn Huginn gladdisk. Sák þann fylki vega til sigrs snǫrpu sverði með mestum frama.

The billowing banners blew above the head of Sigurðr’s father [= Magnús] and gleaming Huginn <raven> rejoiced. I saw that leader fighting for victory with the sharp sword with the greatest glory.
