text and translation
Fundum um síðir fyrir í sundi
þegna nýta, Þórð ok Hjálmar.
Fréttu fyrðar, þeir er fyrir váru,
hvárt frið vildim eða á för halda.
Fundum um síðir nýta þegna, Þórð ok Hjálmar, fyrir í sundi. Fyrðar fréttu, þeir er váru fyrir, hvárt vildim frið eða halda á för.
‘At length we found able men, Þórðr and Hjálmarr, before [us] in the sound. The men, who were there beforehand, asked whether we wanted peace or to continue our journey. ’
notes and context
In the prose saga, Oddr and his men encounter a viking named Hálfdan in the Götaälv skerries, followed by another viking named Sóti, before they meet Þórðr and Hjálmarr. See Ǫrv 48/3 and Note to [All]. In the prose saga (Ǫrv 1888, 58-65) the two parties engage in trials of strength for two days before eventually deciding to combine forces.
