Hi Grace,
It was interesting to read your translation as
well, because you have interpreted
sýnisk honum
nakkvat eptir, sem ármaðrinn mælti fyrir honum,
in the same way that we did in college - it seems
to him (there was) something in what the steward said to him - so it will be
interesting to see Haukur's view, whether both this and Alan's translation
are equally acceptable. Watch this space!
You queried "meta alt saman". Yes, basically
you were right - he will judge or value everything together, i.e. he will weigh
it all up.
Kveðja,
Sarah.

Auðun goes along with Aki´s
plan
Ok er hann lítr á þetta, sýnisk honum nakkvat eptir, sem
ármaðrinn
And when he takes this into consideration, it seems to him
something
behind?, that the steward
mælti fyrir honum, ok sættask
þeir á þetta, at hann selr Áka hálft
spoke before him, and they agreed on
that, that he (Auðun) sells Aki half
dýrit ok skal konungr síðan meta
alt saman. Skulu þeir fara báðir nú á
the beast and the king
afterwards will estimate the whole ?. They will
go together now
to
fund konungs, og svá gøra þeir; fara nú báðir á fund konungs ok
stóðu
the meeting with the king and so they do; both now go to the meeting
with the king (lit. king's meeting) and stand
fyrir
borðinu.
before the table.
Thanks Sarah! Happy New
Year!
