Visit of Onund and Thrand to Eyvind in Ireland.

The following summer they made ready for a voyage to the West, to

Ireland. At the same time Balki and Hallvard sailed westwards,

to Iceland, where they had heard that good land was available for

occupation. Balki took up some land at Hrutafjord, and had his

abode in two places called Balkastad. Hallvard occupied

Sugandafjord and Skalavik as far as Stigi, where he lived.



Thrand and Onund went to visit Eyvind the Easterner, who

welcomed joyfully his brother Thrand; but when he heard that

Onund had also come, he became very angry and wanted to fight

him. Thrand asked him not to do so, and said it would ill become

him to quarrel with men from Norway, especially with such as had

given no offence. Eyvind said that he had given offence before,

when he made war on Kjarval the king, and that he should now pay

for it. The brothers had much to say to each other about the

matter, till at last Thrand said that he and Onund should share

their fortune together. Then Eyvind allowed himself to be

appeased. They stayed there a long time in the summer and went

with Eyvind on his expeditions. Eyvind found Onund to be a man

of the greatest valour. In the autumn they went to the Hebrides,

and Eyvind made over to Thrand all his share in their father

Bjorn's patrimony in the event of Bjorn dying before Thrand.

They stayed in the Hebrides until they married and some years

after.
