“ He who sitteth on the lowest throne is a king; his name is Har (the High or Lofty One) ; the second is Jafnhar (i.e. equal to the High) ; but he who sitteth on the highest throne is called Thridi (the Third) . ”

“ It is related of him that he once gave a wayfaring woman, as a recompense for her having diverted him, as much land in his realm as she could plough with four oxen in a day and a night. This woman was, however, of the race of the Æsir, and was called Gefjon. She took four oxen from the north, out of Jotunheim (but they were the sons she had had with a giant) , and set them before a plough. Now the plough made such deep furrows that it tore up the land, which the oxen drew westward out to sea until they came to a sound. There Gefjon fixed the land, and called it Sælund. ”
