What about 'would be home time' ?2/ line 135 'áðr viku'.........In line 108 it says 'Honum var vant nær viku' - ' he was missing them for nearly a week' . If you translate from this context, a full week has not yet passed, so 'áðr viku' will mean 'earlier in the week'3/ line 140 'á mikilli rás'..... The meaning of 'rás' is given as 'race', 'hurry', and in Zoega, also as 'running' If we opt for the last meaning, it could translate as ' at a great pace'.Hope this is of some help. Hope even more that it is right!CheersJed
