Atli, föðurfaðir hans hafði verit með Magnúsi konungi inum góða Óláfssyni í bardaga á Hlýrskógsheiði, þá er hann barðist við Vindi.
Atli, his grandfather had been with King Magnus, Saint? Olaf’s son, in battle at Hlyr Forest Heath, then when he fought with Vindr.
Þá vitraðist Óláfr konungr Magnúsi, syni sínum, bað hann velja tólf menn af öllum herinum, þá er væri af inum beztum ættum, til þess at þeir bindi sár manna.
Then King Olaf appeared in a dream? to Magnus, his son, bade him chose twelve men of all the host, those who were of the best upbringing, to this that they would bind the wounds of men.
En hann kveðst þat þiggja mundu af guði, at í hvers þeira kyni skyldi síðan lækning haldast, er þar væri til valdir sár manna at binda.
And he said he that (they) would receive from God, that in each of their kindred should afterwards keep healing, when there were men chosen to bind wounds.
En eftir bardagann skipaði hann þeim til at binda sár manna, því at fáir váru læknar í liði hans, en menn váru margir sárir orðnir.
And after the battle he arranged for them to bind men’s wounds, because few were physicians in his company, but many wounds had happened to men.
Þar batt Atli sár manna fyrsta sinn at boðorði Magnúss konungs ok var síðan algerr læknir sem allir þeir, er þar bundu sár manna.
Atli bound men’s wounds there the first time at the bidding of King Magnus and was afterwards clearly a physician as (were) all those there who bound men’s wounds.
Svá kom lækning af guðs miskunn fyrsta sinn í kyn Bárðar svarta.
Thus came healing from God’s mercy the first time in the kindred of Black Bardr.
