The warship was cleared from stem to stern beneath the prince who had arrived from the east—southern weapons bit—, when the battle-able son of the king [= Sigurðr] tried swimming in the sea [by leaping] from his ship.
[4] snekkja: snekkju Mork
[4] snekkja (f. nom. sg.) ‘warship’: The oblique sg. (snekkju ‘warship’) has been emended to the nom. to provide a subject for hrauzk ‘was cleared’ (l. 1). See also Note to st. 12/2 above.
