Þstf Stuttdr 1II/3 — hollr ‘loyal’

Dreif til handa
herr framr grami
hollr hauksnjǫllum
hvaðanæva svá,
sem fyrr í fǫr
frétt hǫfðu rétt
konunga kyn
Kraka margspǫkum.

Framr, hollr herr dreif til handa hauksnjǫllum grami svá hvaðanæva, sem hǫfðu rétt frétt kyn konunga fyrr í fǫr margspǫkum Kraka.

An outstanding, loyal army gathered around the hawk-brave lord from everywhere, just as [men] have rightly heard that the kin of kings earlier [were] in the company of the very sagacious Kraki (‘Pole-ladder’) <legendary king>.
