‘Haraldr’s heir [= Víkarr] then gathered Sørkvir and Grettir, Hildigrímr, Erpr and Úlfr, Án and Skúmr, Hrói and Hrotti, son of Herbrandr, ’
After Víkarr has got Starkaðr off the floor at Askr, he equips him with clothes and weapons and gathers a troop of champions (kappar) and duellists (hólmgǫngumenn). Vík 8 and 9 (Gautr 16 and 17) are then introduced with the words Svá segir Starkaðr ‘So says Starkaðr’.
