My nephew, Thorgeir Blund, was there at the Althing, and had given Thorstein much help in this suit. He asked Thorstein and I to give him some land out there on the Moors. He had dwelt south of White-river below Blunds-water. I received the request well, and persuaded Thorstein to let him have some land. So we gave to Thorgeir, Anabrekka, Steiner’s lost property.
Steinar moved beyond Lang River and settled down at Leiru-brook.
There was a man with Thorstein named Iri, fleet of foot and keen of sight above others; he was a foreigner, a freedman of Thorstein’s. Iri was in charge of gathering loose sheep and herd them for grazing.
One day, not to long afer Removal Days, Thorstein and some of his men were directing others in building a substantial fence across Grisor Tongue.
Iri came up to Thorstein and said that he had seen severel spear points shine in the daylight. He told him exactly where he had seen it. Thorstein spoke out in a loud voice “Well if he must see me I suppose we should honor his request.”
He then directed his men to follow him to Olvals’s home because there was a matter of importance.
They rode through the marshes all the way to Gufu River. There they found some of Olval’s men tending cattle. Thorstein asked if all was well at Olval’s farm. They answered positively and said that Olval was cutting timber up in the woods.
Thorstein correctly surmised that Steiner was up in the woods waiting to ambush him.
Thorstein and his men rode directly back to Borg and Thorstein’s home.
