NOTE TO THE CONTESTANTS:
I made a mistake when typing in the text. The word "sunir" in line 6
should of course be "sumir" (but you figured that out from the
context,
didn't you). Here's the correct text:


Sorry, I found yet another mistake in my transcription.
The word "færðir" in the second last line should be "særðir".

Here's the correct text:

En um þyðerska menn er higat ero comnir mikill fiolþi oc með storum
scipum oc ætla heþan at flytia smior oc screið er mikill landeyia er at
þeiri brotflutningo. en her kemr i staðinn vin er menn hafa til lagz at

Problem: I just realized it's full of missing letters as I receive it.

Surely that should be 'empty' of missing letters?

There are two classes of people. Those who divide people into
two classes, and those who don't. I belong to the second class.
