Old Norse

Ráð þú! Geirmundr fekk Geirlaug meydómi í. Þá fingu þau son, áðan hann druknaði. En sonr dó síðan. Þá fekk hon Guðrík. Hann ... þenna. Þá fingu þau bôrn. En mær ein lifði; hon hét Inga. Hana fekk Ragnfastr í Snotastôðum. Þá varð hann dauðr ok sonr síðan. En móðir kvam at sonar arfi. Þá fekk hon Eirík. Þar varð hon dauð. Þar kvam Geirlaug at arfi Ingu, dóttur sinnar. Þorbjôrn Skald risti rúnar.
