text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):

Hrauðungr konungr átti tvá sonu; hét annarr Agnarr en annarr Geirröðr. Agnarr var tíu vetra en Geirröðr átta vetra. Þeir reru tveir á báti með dorgar sínar að smáfiski. Vindr rak þá íhaf út. Í náttmyrkri brutu þeir við land ok gengu upp, fundu kotbónda einn. Þar vóru þeir um vetrinn. Kerling fóstraði Agnar en karl Geirröð. Að vári fekk karl þeim skip. En er þau kerling leiddu þá til strandar þá mælti karl einmæli við Geirröð. Þeir fengu byr ok kvómu til stöðva föðurs síns. Geirröðr var fram ískipi. Hann hljóp upp áland en hratt út skipinu ok mælti: Farþú þar er smyl hafi þik! Skipið rak út en Geirröðr gekk út til bæjar. Hánum var vel fagnað. Þá var faðir hans andaðr. Var þá Geirröðr til konungs tekinn ok varð maðr ágætr.
