vapnom ok vádom
skulo vinir _glediaz_,
þæt er á sialfom sæmst:
vidr-géfendr ok endi gefendr
_erost_ lengst vinir
ef þat biþr at verþa vel. Rigsmal. 41.
armis ac vestibus
amici _mutuo se delectent_,
queîs in ipso (datore) forent conspicua:
pretium renumerantes et remunerantes
_inter se diutissime sunt_ amici
si negotium feliciter se dat.
The middle form and reciprocal sense of _erost_ is remarkable in this
passage.
