And if any body-snatcher, in his abominable covetousness, made an attempt on him, he was to suffer for it, not only with his life, but also with the loss of burial for his own body; he should have no barrow and no funeral.
For he thought it just that he who despoiled another's ashes should be granted no burial, but should repeat in his own person the fate he had inflicted on another.

He appointed that the body of a centurion or governor should receive funeral on a pyre built of his own ship.

He ordered that the bodies of every ten pilots should be burnt together with a single ship, but that every earl or king that was killed should be put on his own ship and burnt with it.

He wished this nice attention to be paid in conducting the funerals of the slain, because he wished to prevent indiscriminate obsequies.

By this time all the kings of the Russians except Olmar and Dag had fallen in battle.
