Hskv Útdr 11II/1 — Borg ‘city’

Borg heiðna tókt, bræðir
benja tíkr, af ríki
— háðisk hver við prýði
hildr — en gaft af mildi.

Bræðir tíkr benja, tókt heiðna borg af ríki en gaft af mildi; hver hildr háðisk við prýði.

Feeder of the bitch of wounds [SHE-WOLF > WARRIOR], you captured the heathen city by means of force and gave [it] away with generosity; every battle was fought with honour.
