Then Erik rode up to inspect the army of the Huns.

As it passed by him, and he in turn by it, it showed its vanguard to the rising and its rear to the setting sun.

So he asked those whom he met, who had the command of all those thousands.

Hun, the King of the Huns, happened to see him, and heard that he had undertaken to reconnoitre, and asked what was the name of the questioner.

Erik said he was the man who came everywhere and was found nowhere.
