King Hring asked Herrauð to travel in his place [‘for him’]
and says that he would take care of his [= Herrauðs’] bride
in the meantime, and they would then be reconciled
concerning everything that had come between them.

Herrauð now did as his father asked, and he and Bósi
travelled with the brothers [Dagfari & Náttfari] with five
hundred men and met king Harald.

King Harald fell in this battle, and with him 115 kings
[‘fifteen kings of a second hundred’], as [it] says in his
saga, and many other champions, they who were more
[numerous] than [the] kings.

I think that the last bit is saying that even more champions
fell than kings.

Dagfari and Náttfari fell there, and Herrauð and Bósi were
both wounded and yet both survived [‘made their way out of’]
the battle.

Then, while they were away, those changes took place in
Götland that will be told later.

[The] fall of King Hring.

Now because [it] is not possible to say more than one
[thing] at a time, it is now necessary to explain that which
has occurred earlier in the saga, and [it] is now to take
[up] first there, that Hleið, king Goðmund’s sister,
vanished away from Glæsisvellir.

And as soon as [the] king missed her, he has her sought both
on sea and [on] land, and no one was able to find her.

> Þeir bræðr váru þá með konungi, Hrærekr ok Siggeirr.

> The brothers, Hraekr and Siggeirr were with the king.

> Those brothers were then with the king, Hraek and Sigger.

The brothers were then with [the] king, Hrœrek and Siggeir.

For the record, the ligature in <Hrœrekr> was once the o-e
ligature.

> The king bade Siggeir put himself in charge of the search

> The king asked Sigger to bind himself to the search for

[The] king asked Siggeir to take charge of [the] search for
Hleið and to do that to obtain marriage to her.

Baetke indicates that <vinna til> can be simply ‘to obtain,
achieve’.

> Siggeirr kvaðst ætla, at þat mundi eigi auðvelt at finna

> Siggeirr declared-of-himself to expect, that that would

Siggeir said that he thought that it would not be easy to
find her if the temple priestess in Bjarmaland knew nothing
of her.

They now made ready to leave the country and had five ships
and travelled to Bjarmaland and met king Hárek and told him
their errand [‘errands’], and he told them to travel to the
temple and said that it would not be easy to seize [her] if
Jómali or the priestess knew nothing of her.

They travelled now to the temple and found there the heap of
ashes, and no traces were seen of anything that ought to be
there.

English <ought> is in fact cognate with ON <átti>.

They now travelled through the wood and came to [the]
dwelling of Hóketil karl and inquired whether they knew
anything [‘nothing’] about who had damaged the temple.
