Afterwards Ögmund went and came to a meeting of them. And when they knew that he was

on (the) quiet.

 

Síðan töluðu þeir ráðagerðir sínar frændur leynilega og ræddi Össur við

Afterwards those kinsmen discussed their plans secretly and Özur spoke with

 

Hrút: "Svo líst mér frændi sem nú munum við hafa gert ráð okkað því að eg

Hrút: ‘So (it) seems to me, kinsman, that now we will have made our plans because I

But now you have watch of when they come to the town and tell me.’
