Hael Sarah, here is another of one of my wretched efforts,
undeterred am I just the same

Auðun part 8
Ok er hann litr á þetta.sýnisk honum nakkvat
eptir
and there he (thought) to that (seemed)
somewhat after
And then he considered it seemed (?reasonable)
later
Sem ármaðrinn mælti fyrir honum, ok sættask þeir á
þetta
when the steward spoke before to him and
(agreed they to that)
what the steward had suggested and it was
agreed
at hann selr Aka hálft dýrit, ok skal Konungr siðan
meta alt saman
as he would sell to Aki half Bear. and shall
King afterwards value all together
that he would sell Aki half the Bear, and the
King would value the whole matter.
I used would sell, because money did not
change hands did it?
Alt saman is like in German - Alles
Zusammen
continuing
Skulu þeir fara baðir nú á fund Konungs og svá gøra
þeir
Shall they travel together now to meeting
Kings and thus did they
They should travel together to meet the King
and this they did
again this seems an expression of intent, not
entirely comfortable with that as written
Fara nú baðir a fund Konungs ok stoðu fyrir
borðinu
travelled now together to meeting Kings and
stood before a table
Travelled together to meet the King and stood
before the King's table
Was the King at supper, did he give them some
food, Aki did not trust Auðun and he is greedy. I wonder what the King Svein
will think of it. (watch this space?)
thank you for this opportunity Sarah, this is
such a good study
Ok er hann lítr á þetta, sýnisk honum nakkvat
eptir, sem ármaðrinn mælti fyrir honum, ok sættask þeir á þetta, at hann
selr Áka hálft dýrit ok skal konungr síðan meta alt saman. Skulu þeir
fara báðir nú á fund konungs, og svá gøra þeir; fara nú báðir á fund konungs
ok stóðu fyrir borðinu.
If you want to post something up towards the
end of the week, I will get back to you over the weekend -
honest!!
