Bauð hǫlf við sik síðan
sonr Ôleifs þér (hôla
frændr, hykk, at þar fyndisk
fegnir) lǫnd ok þegna.
Lézt vatn slitna, víðkunnr vísi, of þunnri skǫr, þars fóruð í Danmǫrk austan; dýr flaust klufu flóð. Síðan bauð {sonr Ôleifs} þér hǫlf lǫnd ok þegna við sik; hykk, at frændr fyndisk þar hôla fegnir.
‘You caused the water to be parted, wide-famed leader, around the thin planking, as you travelled from the east into Denmark; the splendid ships clove the flood. Then Óláfr’s son [= Magnús] offered you half the lands and retainers with himself; I think that the kinsmen met there most joyfully.’
notes and context
Having been offered joint rule of Norway by Magnús Óláfsson, and having eluded an assassination attempt by his former ally Sveinn Úlfsson, Haraldr hastens to a joyful reunion with Magnús.
For the meeting of the royal kinsmen, see also ÞjóðA Frag 1 and Bǫlv Hardr 7.
