Ív Sig 6II/2 — at ‘to’

Bar Sigurði        sigr at hendi
ór orrostu        inn frá Stauri.

Sigr bar at hendi Sigurði ór orrostu inn frá Stauri.

Victory came to Sigurðr from the battle on the inner side of Point of Stoer.

notes

[1-2] sigr bar at hendi Sigurði ‘victory came to Sigurðr’: Bera ‘carry’ (bar 3rd pers. sg. pret. indic.) is used impersonally here with sigr ‘victory’ as the object (lit. ‘victory was carried to the hand of Sigurðr’).
