Hilmir lét hafkaldan húf svífa í Griksalti—esat skaldi einfalt lof of risnu allvalds—, áðr {auðlestir} festi skip við einkar breiða Akrsborg; ǫll ǫld beið feginsmorgin með stilli.
‘The lord let the sea-cold ship-side rock in the Aegean—the poet’s praise of the mighty ruler’s magnificence is not one-sided—, before the wealth-destroyer [GENEROUS MAN] moored the ship by the exceedingly large city of Acre; all people awaited that morning of joy with the leader.’
notes and context
Sigurðr sailed through the Aegean to Palestine and landed in Acre (1110). He was received by King Baldwin, who accompanied him to the River Jordan.
In Hkr this st. and st. 4 are cited without intervening prose, whereas H-Hr separates the two sts and elaborates on Baldwin’s reception of Sigurðr.
