Sigurður Nordal published and wrote the foreword.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSkalla-Grím and Bera had very many children, and it was the first time that they all breathed; then they had a son, and he was sprinkled with water and named Thorolf. But when he was born, he was early great in stature and the most beautiful in appearance; it was the opinion of all men that he would be most like Thorolf Kveld-Ulfsson, as he was named. Thorolf was far ahead of his peers in strength; but when he grew up, he became an athlete in most of the things that were then common for men to do, those who were well-trained. Thorolf was a great man of joy; early he was so perfect in strength that he was considered to be very handy with other men; he soon became popular with the people; his father and mother loved him well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Skalla-Grímur had two daughters; one was named Sæunn, and the other Þórunn; they were both promising in their growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThey also had a son, Skalla-Grímur; he was sprinkled with water and given a name, and was called Egill. But when he grew up, it was soon seen in him that he would become very ugly and like his father, with black hair. But when he was three years old, he was big and strong, like other boys who were six or seven years old; he was soon eloquent and eloquent; but he was bad to deal with when he was in games with other youths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e That spring Yngvar went to Borg, and it was on business that he invited Skalla-Grím to come out to him there, and he named for that journey Bera, his daughter, and Thorolf, her son, and such other men as Skalla-Grím wanted to go with; Skalla-Grím promised his journey. Yngvar then went home and prepared the feast and had ale served.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But when the time came for Skalla-Grím to go to the invitation with Bera, Thorolf prepared to go with them and the household servants, so that there were fifteen of them together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEgil spoke to his father about his desire to go; \"I have such acquaintance there as Thorolf,\" he says.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"You must not go,\" says Skalla-Grím, \"for you cannot bear to be in a crowd, where there is much drinking, where you are not considered a good businessman, that you are not drunk.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThen Skalla-Grím mounted his horse and rode away, but Egil was unhappy with his lot. He went out of the yard and met a horse that Skalla-Grím owned, got on its back and rode after Skalla-Grím; he found it difficult to navigate the marshes, because he knew no path, but he still saw Skalla-Grím's men riding very often, when there was no wood or forest. This is what is to be told of his journey: late in the evening he came to Álftanes, when men were sitting there drinking; he went into the room. But when Yngvar saw Egil, he received him joyfully and asked why he had come so late. Egil told what Skalla-Grím and his men had talked about. Yngvar made Egil sit beside him. They sat opposite Skalla-Grím and Thorolf.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There was a beer-party there, and men recited verses; then Egil recited a verse:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Come to the mountains\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yngvar, that's the request of the heathen,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He was eager to find,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e from the oppressors gives to boys;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Will you not, O humble one,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e three winters better for me,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e the land of light\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLinns, oh carpenters find.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yngvar held up that verse and thanked Egil well for the verse; but the next day Yngvar brought Egil three falcons and a duck's egg as a reward for his poetry. But the next day, while drinking, Egil recited another verse about the reward of his talent:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Silently gave to the syllabaries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e three yellow eagles Agli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e shepherd's shepherd with a shepherd's staff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The benefits of the surf roots are immense,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e and the bench-top volleyball\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The table gave the fjords\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e teacher, he who knows,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A basket, Egil rejoices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Egill thanked many people for his poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There was no further news on their journey.
