En um várit eptir fóru þeir Molda-Gnúpr vestr í Grindavík ok staðfestisk þar; þeir hǫfðu fátt kvikfjár. Þeir váru þá fulltíða synir Molda-Gnúps, Bjǫrn ok Gnúpr, Þorsteinn hrungnir ok Þórðr leggjaldi. Bjǫrn dreymdi um nótt, at bergbúi kœmi at honum ok bauð að gera félag við hann, en hann þóttist játa því. Eptir þat kom hafr til geita hans, ok tímgaðisk þá svá skjótt fé hans, at hann varð skjótt vellauðigr; síðan var hann Hafr-Bjǫrn kallaðr. Það sá ófreskir menn, at landvættir allar fylgdu Hafr-Birni til þings, en þeim Þorsteini ok Þórði til veiða ok fiskjar.
