"The Elder Eddas of Saemund Sigfusson; and the Younger Eddas of Snorre Sturleson"

At tables played at home; joyous they were; to them was naught
the want of gold, until there came Thurs-maidens three, all powerful,
from Joetunheim.
9. Then went all the powers to their judgment-seats, the all-holy
gods, and thereon held council, who should of the dwarfs the race
create, from the sea-giant's blood and livid bones.
10. Then was Motsognir created greatest of all the dwarfs, and Durin
second; there in man's likeness they created many dwarfs from earth,
as Durin said.
11. Nyi and Nidi, Nordri and Sudri, Austri and Vestri, Althiof,
Dvalin Nar and Nain, Niping, Dain, Bivoer, Bavoer, Boembur, Nori, An and
Anar, Ai, Miodvitnir,
12. Veig and Gandalf, Vindalf, Thrain, Thekk and Thorin, Thror,
Vitr, and Litr, Nur and Nyrad, Regin and Radsvid. Now of the dwarfs I
have rightly told.
13. Fili, Kili, Fundin, Nali, Hepti, Vili, Hanar, Svior, Billing,
Bruni, Bild, Buri, Frar, Hornbori, Fraeg and Loni, Aurvang, Iari,
Eikinskialdi.
14. Time 'tis of the dwarfs in Dvalin's band, to the sons of men, to
Lofar up to reckon, those who came forth from the world's rock,
earth's foundation, to Iora's plains.
15. There were Draupnir, and Dolgthrasir, Har, Haugspori, Hlaevang,
Gloi, Skirvir, Virvir, Skafid, Ai, Alf and Yngvi, Eikinskialdi,
16. Fialar and Frosti, Finn and Ginnar, Heri, Hoeggstari, Hliodolf,
Moin: that above shall, while mortals live, the progeny of Lofar,
accounted be.
