these came Hadd the Hard and Rolder (Hroald) Toe-joint.

From Norway we have the names of Thrand of Throndhjem, Thoke (Thore)
of More, Hrafn the White, Haf (war), Biarni, Blihar (Blig?) surnamed
Snub-nosed; Biorn from the district of Sogni; Findar (Finn) born in
the Firth; Bersi born in the town F(I)alu; Siward Boarhead, Erik the
Story-teller, Holmstein the White, Hrut Rawi (or Vafi, the Doubter),
Erling surnamed Snake. Now from the province of Jather came Odd the
Englishman, Alf the Far-wanderer, Enar the Paunched, and Ywar surnamed
Thriug. Now from Thule (Iceland) came Mar the Red, born and bred in the
district called Midfirth; Grombar the Aged, Gram Brundeluk (Bryndalk?)
Grim from the town of Skier (um) born in Skagafiord. Next came Berg the
Seer, accompanied by Bragi and Rafnkel.

Siwald also furrowed the sea with eleven light ships. Lesy (Laesi), the
conqueror of the Pannonians (Huns), fitted with a sail his swift galley

The fleet of Gotland was waiting for the Swedish fleet in the harbour
