Eikþyrnir

Enn er meira mark at of hjörtinn Eirþyrni, [sic]^[2] er stendr á Valhöll ok bítr af limum þess trés, en af hornum <hans> verðr svá mikill dropi at niðr kemr í Hvergelmi, en þaðan af falla ár þær er svá heita: Síð, Víð, Sekin, Ekin, Svöl, Gunnþró, Fjörm, Fimbulþul, Gipul, Göpul, Gömul, Geirvimul, þessar falla um ásabygðir. Þessar eru enn nefndar: Þyn, Vin, Þöll, Böll, Gráð, Gunnþráin, Nyt, Nöt, Nönn, Hrönn, Vína, Veg, Svinn, Þjóðnuma. — (ch. 39; Normalized text of the R manuscript)

Even more worthy of note is the hart Eikthyrni, which stands in Valhall and bites from the limbs of the tree; and from his horns distils such abundant exudation that it comes down into Hvergelmir, and from thence fall those rivers called thus: Síd, Víd, Søkin, Eikin, Svöl, Gunnthrá, Fjörm, Fimbulthul, Gípul, Göpul, Gömul, Geirvimul. Those fall about the abodes of the Æsir; these also are recorded: Thyn, Vín, Thöll, Höll, Grád, Gunnthráin, Nyt, Nöt, Nönn, Hrönn, Vína, Vegsvinn, Thjódnuma. — Brodeur's translation

Eikthyrnir the hart is called,

that stands o’er Odin’s hall,

and bits from Lærad’s branches;

from his horns fall

drops into Hvergelmir,

whence all waters rise:-

Sid and Vid,

Soekin and Eikin,

Svöl and Gunntro,

Fiörm and Fimbulthul,

Rin and Rennandi,

Gipul and Göpul,

Gömul and Geirvimul:

they round the gods’ dwellings wind.

Thyn and Vin,

Thöll and Höll,

Grad and Gunnthorin.

Vina one is called,

a second Vegsvin,

a third Thiodnuma;

Nyt and Nöt,

Nön and Hrön,

Slid and Hrid,

Sylg and Ylg,

Vid and Van,

Vönd and Strönd,

Giöll and Leipt;

these (two) fall near to men,

but fall hence to Hel. — Thorpe's translation
