text and translation
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Það var eitt kveld um haustið að sauðamaður Þorsteins fór að fé fyrir norðan Helgafell. Hann sá að fjallið laukst upp norðan. Hann sá inn í fjallið elda stóra og heyrði þangað mikinn glaum og hornaskvöl. Og er hann hlýddi ef hann næmi nokkur orðaskil heyrði hann að þar var heilsað Þorsteini þorskabít og förunautum hans og mælt að hann skal sitja í öndvegi gegnt föður sínum.
Þenna fyrirburð sagði sauðamaður Þóru konu Þorsteins um kveldið. Hún lét sér fátt um finnast og kallar vera mega að þetta væri fyrirboðan stærri tíðinda.
Um morguninn eftir komu menn utan úr Höskuldsey og sögðu þau tíðindi að Þorsteinn þorskabítur hafði drukknað í fiskiróðri og þótti mönnum það mikill skaði.
