Hervarar saga
The name first appears in the Hervarar saga when Angantyr has avenged his father Heidrek and retaken the Dwarf-cursed sword Tyrfing:

The next place is when Angantyr's brave sister Hervor fights the Huns, although her small army is greatly outnumbered by the horde and she knows she cannot win:
Arheimar is mentioned for the last time when the Geatish king Gizur arrives with his army from Scandinavia to fight for the Goths, and tells the Huns where the Geats and the Goths will meet the Huns in battle. Hlöd demeans Gizur by calling him an Ostrogoth (Gryting) and 'Angantyr's man from Arheimar', and not a king of the Geats:
