text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):

Þórir snepill hét maður son Ketils brimils; hann bjóst til
Íslandsfarar. Gautur hét skipveri hans.

En er þeir lágu til hafs, komu að þeim víkingar og vildu ræna
þá, en Gautur laust stafnbúann þeirra með hjálmunveli, og
lögðu víkingar við það frá. Síðan var hann kallaður
Hjálmun-Gautur.

Þeir Þórir fóru til Íslands og komu skipi sínu í
Skjálfandafljótsós. Þórir nam Kaldakinn á milli Skuggabjarga
og Ljósavatnsskarðs; hann nam þar eigi yndi og fór á braut;
þá kvað hann þetta:

Hér liggr, kjóla keyrir,

Kaldakinn of aldr,

en vit förum heilir,

Hjölmun-Gautr, á braut.

Þórir nam síðan Fnjóskadal allan til Ódeilu og bjó að Lundi;
hann blótaði lundinn. Hans sonur var Ormur töskubak, faðir
Hlenna hins gamla, og Þorkell svarti í Hleiðrargarði. Hann
átti Guðlaugu Hrólfsdóttur, þeirra synir Öngull hinn svarti
og Hrafn, faðir Þórðar að Stokkahlöðum, og Guðríður, er átti
Þorgeir goði að Ljósavatni.

Þengill mjögsiglandi fór af Hálogalandi til Íslands; hann nam
land að ráði Helga út frá Hnjóská til Grenivíkur; hann bjó í
Höfða. Hans synir voru þeir Vémundur faðir Ásólfs í Höfða og
Hallsteinn, er þetta kvað, þá er hann sigldi af hafi og frá
andlát föður síns:

Drúpir Höfði,

dauðr es Þengill,

hlæja hlíðir

við Hallsteini.

Þormóður hét maður, er nam Grenivík og Hvallátur og Strönd
alla út til Þorgeirsfjarðar. Hans son var Snörtur, er
Snertlingar eru frá komnir.

Þorgeir hét maður, er nam Þorgeirsfjörð og Hvalvatnsfjörð.

Loðinn öngull hét maður; hann var fæddur í Öngley á
Hálogalandi. Hann fór fyrir ofríki Hákonar jarls
Grjótgarðssonar til Íslands og dó í hafi; en Eyvindur son
hans nam Flateyjardal upp til Gunnsteina og blótaði þá. Þar
liggur Ódeila á milli og landnáms Þóris snepils.

Ásbjörn dettiás var son Eyvindar, faðir Finnboga hins ramma.
