Bjorn got for his portion another good and valuable homestead. He did not become a liege-man of the king, wherefore he was called Bjorn Yeoman. He was right wealthy, and a great man. No sooner did Thorolf come off the sea then he went at once to Bjorn, and brought him Asgerdr his daughter. There was a joyful meeting. Asgerdr was a most beautiful and accomplished woman, wise and right skilful.

Thorolf went to see king Eric. And when they met, Thorolf greeted Eric from Skallagrim, and said that he had thankfully received the king's gift. He then brought out a good long-ship's sail, which he said Skallagrim had sent to the king. King Eric received the gift well, and bade Thorolf be with him for the winter. For this Thorolf thanked the king, but said: 'I must first go to Thorir; with him I have an urgent errand.'

Then Thorolf went to Thorir, as he had said, and met there a right hearty welcome. Thorir bade him be with him. This Thorolf said he would accept; 'and there is,' said he, 'one with me who must have lodging where I am; he is my brother, and he has never before been away from home, and he needs that I look after him.'

Thorir said that Thorolf had every right, if he would, to bring more men with him thither. 'Your brother, too,' said he, 'we think, betters our company if he be at all like you.'

Then Thorolf went to his ship, and had it drawn up and made snug, whereafter he and Egil went to lord Thorir. Thorir had a son named Arinbjorn, who was somewhat older than Egil. Arinbjorn early showed himself a manly fellow and a doughty. With Arinbjorn Egil struck up a friendship, and was ever his follower. But between the brothers was rather a coolness.

Björn hlaut annan bústað, góðan ok virðiligan. Gerðist hann ekki handgenginn konungi. Því var hann kallaðr Björn hölðr. Var hann maðr vellauðigr ok stórmenni mikit.

Þórólfr fór brátt á fund Bjarnar, þegar er hann kom af hafi, ok fylgði heim Ásgerði, dóttur hans. Varð þar fagnafundr. Ásgerðr var in vænsta kona ok in gerviligsta, vitr kona ok allvel kunnandi.

Þórólfr fór á fund Eiríks konungs. En er þeir hittust, bar Þórólfr Eiríki konungi kveðju Skalla-Gríms ok sagði, at hann hafði þakksamliga tekit sending konungs, bar fram síðan langskipssegl gott, er hann sagði, at Skalla-Grímr hefði sent konungi. Eiríkr konungr tók vel við gjöf þeiri ok bauð Þórólfi at vera með sér um vetrinn.

Þórólfr þakkaði konungi boð sitt. "Ek mun nú fyrst fara til Þóris. Á ek við hann nauðsynja erendi."

Síðan fór Þórólfr til Þóris, sem hann hafði sagt, ok fekk þar allgóðar viðtökur. Bauð Þórir honum at vera með sér.

Þórólfr sagði, at hann myndi þat þekkjast, - "ok er sá maðr með mér, at þar skal vist hafa, sem ek em. Hann er bróðir minn, ok hefir hann ekki fyrr heiman gengit, ok þarf hann, at ek veita honum umsjá."

Þórir sagði, at þat var heimult, þó at Þórólfr vildi fleiri menn hafa með sér þangat. "Þykkir oss," segir hann, "sveitarbót at bróður þínum, ef hann er nökkut þér líkr."

Síðan fór Þórólfr til skips síns ok lét þat upp setja ok um búa, en hann fór ok Egill til Þóris hersis.

Þórir átti son, er hét Arinbjörn. Hann var nökkuru ellri en Egill. Arinbjörn var þegar snemma sköruligr maðr ok inn mesti íþróttamaðr. Egill gerði sér títt við Arinbjörn ok var honum fylgjusamr, en heldr var fátt með þeim bræðrum.
