Eskál Vell 25I/6 — Hǫrða ‘of the Hǫrðar’

Hitt vas auk, at eykir
aurborðs á vit norðan
und sigrunni svinnum
sunnr Danmarkar runnu.
Ok holmfjǫturs hjalmi
Hǫrða valdr of faldinn
Dofra danskra jǫfra
dróttinn fund of sótti.

Hitt vas auk, at eykir aurborðs runnu norðan und svinnum sigrunni sunnr á vit Danmarkar. Ok valdr Hǫrða, dróttinn Dofra, of faldinn hjalmi holmfjǫturs, of sótti fund danskra jǫfra.

It also happened that the draught-animals of the plank [SHIPS] ran from the north under the wise victory-tree [WARRIOR] south towards Denmark. And the ruler of the Hǫrðar [NORWEGIAN RULER = Hákon jarl], the lord of the Dofrar [NORWEGIAN RULER = Hákon jarl], wearing the helmet of the island-fetter [= Miðgarðsormr], sought a meeting with the Danish rulers.
