Þess galt hon gedda fyr Grafár ósi,

Hon gedda galt þess fyr ósi Grafár, er Heiðrekr var veginn und Harvaðafjöllum.
The pike paid for the fact that Heiðrekr was slain in front of the mouth of the Grafá, under Harvaðafjǫll.
[4] und Harvaðafjöllum ‘under Harvaðafjǫll’: The Carpathian mountains, the largest mountain range in Europe, form an arc of c. 1500 km from the Czech Republic, through Slovakia, Poland, the Ukraine and Romania, to the Iron Gates gorge on the River Danube at the border between Romania and Serbia. The Old Norse word is regularly formed from the root karpat- via Grimm’s Law, but the p. n. is not otherwise attested in its Germanic form (Heiðr 1960, xxiii and n. 2).
