text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable.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

Litlu síðar kom Indriði heim og spurði þessi tíðindi. Þóttist
hann þá vita að Þorbjörg mundi hafa verið í þessum ráðum.
Eigi vildi hann þó missa sverðsins. Fór hann síðan og hitti
Ref og bað hann laust láta sverðið "því að eg hefi í öngum
þessum ráðum verið," segir hann.

Refur selur honum sverðið.

"Vil eg ekki óvingast við þig," segir Refur.

Tók Indriði þá við sverði sínu og reið heim síðan. Má í slíku
marka hver höfðingi Indriði hefir verið að slíkur garpur sem
Refur var treysti eigi öðru en láta laust sverðið við Indriða
þegar hann beiddi, svo mikil örkymsl sem hann hafði fengið af
því.

Litlu síðar fundust þær Þorgríma smíðkona og Þorbjörg katla
móðir Refs og fundust síðan dauðar báðar í Múlafelli. Þær
voru allar rifnar og skornar í sundur í stykki og reimt þykir
þar síðan vera hjá kumlum þeirra.

Þess geta menn til að Þorgríma móðir Indriða mundi vilja
sækja hringinn Sótanaut til handa Indriða en Katla verði og
vildi eigi lausan láta og fyrir því dræpust þær niður. Aldrei
fannst hringurinn síðan.
