How the Gertmen and how many Helenia followers came back

Now will I write how the gertmen and how many Helenia followers came back ¹
Two years after Gosa became Mother, a fleet came into the Flyeer.
The folk cried hugza.
They sailed to Stavere.
The flags were on top (of the masts) and at night shot they burning arrows into the air.⁵

When it dawned, some rowed with a sigh into the harbour.
They again cried huzza.
When they landed, a young fellow hopped up the bank.
In his hands had he a shield, thereupon was bread and salt laid.
After that came a grave, he said we come away from far Greece, in order to keep our morality, ¹⁰
now we wish ye should be so mild as to give us so much land that we thereupon might dwell.

The graves wist not what to do, they sent messengers everywhere, also to me.
I went up and said: now that we have a Mother aught we to ask her advice.
I myself went with them.

The Mother who wist all, said, let them come, so might they help us keep the land: but let them not abide in one place, so that they become not powerful over us.¹⁵
We did as she had said.

That was all to their liking.
Friso rested with his people at Stavere, which they made back into a seaport, as well as they might.
Wichhirte went with his people eastward to the Emude.
Some of the Ionians who thought that they were descended from the Alderga folk, went thither.²⁰

A small part of them who weened that their forebears came from the seven islands, went hence and settled themselves down within the ramparts of the burgh Walhallagara.
