text and translation
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Rennir hét maðr ok var bóndi einn ríkr. Hann hafði atsetr í ey þeiri, er síðan er Rennisey kölluð. Sú ey liggr fyrir Noregi norðr undan Jaðri. Hann hafði verit víkingr mikill, áðr hann settist í búnað. Konu átti hann sér ok einn son barna. Sá hét Refr. Þá er hann var ungr, lagðist hann í eldaskála ok beit hrís ok börk af trjám. Hann var furðuliga mikill vexti. Ekki færði hann saur af sér, ok til einskis rétti hann sínar hendr, svá at öðrum væri til gagns. Faðir hans var fjárorkumaðr mikill, ok líkaði honum illa óþrifnaðr sonar síns. Refr varð frægr mjök at engum snotrleik né frama, heldr at því, at hann gerði sik athlægi annarra sinna hraustra frænda, ok þótti föður hans hann ólíkligr til nokkurs frama, sem öðrum ungum mönnum var þá títt.
Rennir bóndi átti einn þann grip, er hann hafði meiri mætur á en öðrum sínum fjárhlutum. Þat var einn uxi. Hann var bæði mikill ok skrautligr fyrir horna sakir. Ristin váru horn á honum ok rennt gulli í skurðina ok í stiklana ok svá silfri. Af silfri var festr meðal horna uxanum ok þar á þrír gullhringar. Þessi uxi bar langt af öðrum uxum, þeim sem í landinu váru, sakir vaxtar ok alls kostar umbúðar. Var Rennir bóndi svá vandlátr um hann, at hann skyldi aldri geymslulauss vera.
Rennir var jafnan í bardögum með Víkari konungi, ok var þeim vingott.
