Chapter 2
Audbjorn was then king over the Firthfolk; there was an earl of his named Hroald, whose son was Thorir.
Atli the Slim was then an earl, he dwelt at Gaula; he had sons - Hallstein, Holmstein, and Herstein; and a daughter, Solveig the Fair.
It happened one autumn that much people were gathered at Gaula for a sacrificial feast, then saw Aulvir Hnuf Solveig and courted her; he afterwards asked her to wife. But the earl thought him an unequal match and would not give her. Whereupon Aulvir composed many love-songs,[1] and thought so much of Solveig that he left freebooting, but Thorolf and Eyvind Lambi kept it on.

Kafli 2
Auðbjörn hét þá konungur yfir Firðafylki. Hróaldur hét jarl hans en Þórir son jarlsins.
Þá var Atli hinn mjóvi jarl. Hann bjó á Gaulum. Hans börn voru þau Hallsteinn, Hólmsteinn, Hersteinn og Solveig hin fagra.
Það var á einu hausti að fjölmennt var á Gaulum að haustblóti. Þá sá Ölvir hnúfa Solveigu og gerði sér um títt. Síðan bað hann hennar en jarlinum þótti mannamunur og vildi eigi gifta hana. Síðan orti Ölvir mörg mansöngskvæði.[1] Svo mikið gerði Ölvir sér um Solveigu að hann lét af herförum og voru þá í herförum Þórólfur og Eyvindur lambi.
