text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable.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

Eftir það fór Þorgils í burt hinn sama dag og til Lofts. Tók
hann við honum ágæta vel.

Svo er sagt að Þorgils var fríður maður sýnum og drengilegur
í viðbragði og skýrlegur, hár á vöxt og réttvaxinn, sterkur
að afli, harðger og skjótráður, gegn og öruggur, örðigur og
manna best vígur og hinn hraustasti í öllum mannraunum þegar
honum dróst aldur sem frá mun verða sagt. Hann var stórlyndur
og þó stöðugur, hjartaprúður og hugstór, stóðst vel margar
mannraunir er hann hlaut að bera.

Það er sagt þá er Þorgils var níu vetra gamall beiddist hann
að róa á sjó með húskörlum Lofts og var það eftir honum látið
sem mart annað. Þorgils kastaði færi sínu fyrir borð og dró
einn mikinn flatan fisk en engi annar veiddi um daginn. Og er
hreggið tók að vaxa reyndist það að Þorgils hafði numið að
róa þótt hann væri ungur. Síðan lögðu þeir að landi. Loftur
kvað í slíku marka mega hver hann mundi verða. Ganga nú heim
og dró Þorgils eftir sér fiskinn. Er hann gekk eftir götunni
þá losnaði moldin þar er hann dró fiskinn og kenndi er varð
fyrir nokkuð hart. Lítur hann þá til og sér að þar liggur
silfurbaugur. Nú fara þeir heim og selur Þorgils Lofti
bauginn, fóstra sínum, til varðveislu.
