text and translation
Styr ok Steinþóri frá Staði norðan;
þar var inn gamli Gunnólfr blesi.
Þá váru vér þrettán saman;
fær varliga fríðri drengi.
Styr ok Steinþóri frá norðan Staði; inn gamli Gunnólfr blesi var þar. Þá váru vér þrettán saman; fær varliga fríðri drengi.
‘Styrr and Steinþórr from north of Stadlandet; the old Gunnólfr blesi (‘Blaze’) was there. We were then thirteen together; finer fellows are scarcely to be had. ’
notes and context
As for Gautr 16.
This stanza carries on syntactically from Gautr 16, completing the list of the twelve champions (kappar) Víkarr gathered together. Like the personal names in Gautr 16, the personal names in 17/1 are in the dat. sg., dependent on the verb safnaði ‘gathered’ in Gautr 16/1.
