text and translation
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
En þó að þá væru menn kristnir kallaðir þá var þó í þann tíð ung kristni og mjög vanger svo að margir gneistar heiðninnar voru þó þá eftir og í óvenju lagðir. Hafði sú siðvenja verið höfð frægra manna, þeirra er það lögmál settu sín í milli, að sá skyldi annars hefna er lengur lifði. Þá skyldu þeir ganga undir þrjú jarðarmen og var það eiður þeirra. Sá leikur var á þá lund að rista skyldi þrjár torfur úr jörðu langar. Þeirra endar skyldu allir fastir í jörðu og heimta upp lykkjurnar svo að menn mættu ganga undir. Þann leik frömdu þeir Þormóður og Þorgeir í sínum fastmælum.
