Описание к видео IOR — Old English Runes

“beaver [or eel] is a riverfish, yet it always enjoys food on land, has a fine dwelling surrounded by water, where it lives happily.”

Iar byþ eafixa and ðeah a bruceþ
fodres on foldan, hafaþ fægerne eard
wætre beworpen, ðær he wynnum leofaþ

(Some translations have eel and some have beaver. In the Middle Ages, beaver was classified as a fish so that people could eat it on Fridays, as the church’s rules prohibited eating meat on Fridays.)
