Sinjórr Nóregs, lát auman svá sem sælan nú njóta laga þinna, ok gef stórum; halt * môl.
Seigneur of Norway [= Magnús], let the poor as well as the prosperous now enjoy your laws, and give lavishly; keep your promises.
[4] sinjórr ‘seigneur’: This is the ON variant of OFr. seignor ‘lord’. The word is first used by Sigvatr here and in ErfÓl 8/4I (synjórr), and he was most likely the one who introduced the term into ON (Bugge 1875, 232). See also Sigvatr’s use of greifar ‘counts’ in st. 14/8 above.
