Svarthofdi

31 ‘Much we tell you, we will tell you more,
I think that you should know it, do you want to know more?

32 ‘Haki was the best by far of the sons of Hvædna,
and Hvædna’s father was Hiorvard,
Heid and Horse-thief were Hrimnir’s children.

33 ‘All the seeresses are descended from Vidolf,
all the wizards from Vilmeid,
and the seid-practisers from Svarthofdi,*
all the giants come from Ymir.

34 ‘Much we tell you, we will tell you more,
I think that you should know it, do you want to know more?
