9. Hjalti saw, he turned and gazed where the battle began; nought had he then in his hands—his empty fists alone.
10. Rolf tossed then to Hjalti his wand of war [his sword]; the warrior put forth his hand towards it, and grasped the pommel.
11. Quickly then he smote the bear in the right shoulder; Bruin fell to the earth, and bore himself in more lowly wise.
12. That was the beginning of his exploits: many followed later; his spirit was ever excellent amid the play of battle.
13. Herefrom he got the name of Hjalti the stout-hearted: Bjarki was no more than his equal.
V, 4-13.
23. Joyful was the valiant Athils when they [Bjarki and Rolf's champions] came east to that place [Lake Wener]; troops with flashing spears rode quickly forthwith to the battle.
24. No truce gave they to their foes: well they earned their pay; there fell Ali and all his host, young in the game of swords.
25. The best of horses, Hrafn by name, they took from Ali; Bjarki chose for his reward the helm Hildisvin.
