Þul Kálfv 3III/1 — Áli ‘Áli’

Áli Hrafni,         — til íss riðu —
en annarr austr         und Aðilsi
grár hvarfaði         geiri undaðr.

Áli Hrafni – riðu til íss –, en annarr, grár undaðr geiri, hvarfaði austr und Aðilsi.

Áli [rode] Hrafn – they rode to the ice –, and another one, a grey one wounded by a spear, staggered to the east under Aðils.

notes

[1] Áli: According to Hkr (ÍF 26, 57), he was a Norwegian and king of Oppland (see also Skjǫldunga saga, ÍF 35, 29), but his lineage given in Beowulf indicates that he was Swedish (Swed. Uppland confused with Norw. Upplǫnd; see Beowulf 2008, lxii). For his horse, Hrafn lit. ‘raven’, see Note to [All] above.
