En[n] Eirikr syn[ir] þei[m] stormen[n]skv af ser i moti
http://saga.library.cornell.edu/saganet/?MIval=%2FSinglePage&Manuscript=100137&Page=613&language=english

...where the letters I've put in square brackets here (which the
edition prints in italics) represent expanded abbreviation marks. So
my guess is that 'sýni' is a typo after all! As you can see, where
letters are missing from the manuscript, the editors add them in round
brackets and often include a footnote.
