Eirekr blóðøx tók brátt við jǫfursnafni, sem búendr vildu. Vígfimr Eirekr vas alls einn vetr ok fjóra at landi, áðr * vinsæll einkafóstri Aðalsteins kœmi vestan, ok Hôkon beiddi bróður sinn halfrar allrar erfðar.

Eiríkr blóðøx (‘Blood-axe’) at once received the royal title, as the farmers wanted. Battle-swift Eiríkr was altogether one year and four [king] in the country, before the popular only foster-son of Æthelstan [= Hákon] came from the west, and Hákon asked his brother for half of the whole inheritance.
