text and translation
Brauzt und Míkjál mæztan
— môgum heim, sem frôgum,
sonr Buðla bauð sínum —
sunnlǫnd, Haraldr, rǫndu.
Haraldr, brauzt sunnlǫnd rǫndu und mæztan Míkjál; {sonr Buðla} bauð môgum sínum heim, sem frôgum.
‘Haraldr, you subjugated the southern lands with the shield for most esteemed Michael; Buðli’s son [= Atli] invited his brothers-in-law home, as we [I] have heard.’
notes and context
Haraldr campaigned in Africa as the leader of the Byzantine Emperor Michael Katallaktos’s Varangian army.
[2-3]: The event alluded to in the embedded clauses, namely, how Atli invited his brothers-in-law, the Gjúkungar, to his stronghold to kill them, is described in Akv and Am (NK 240-63). See also SnE 1998, I, 48. Atli was the ON name for Attila, the leader of the Huns (d. 453).
