text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable.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


Gissur hvíti hét maður. Hann var Teitsson Ketilbjarnarsonar
hins gamla frá Mosfelli. Móðir Gissurar hét Ólöf. Hún var
dóttir Böðvars hersis Víkinga-Kárasonar. Ísleifur byskup var
sonur Gissurar. Móðir Teits hét Helga og var dóttir Þórðar
Skeggja Hrappssonar Bjarnarsonar bunu. Gissur hvíti bjó að
Mosfelli og var höfðingi mikill.



Sá maður er nefndur til sögunnar er Geir hét. Hann var
kallaður Geir goði. Móðir hans hét Þorkatla og var dóttir
Ketilbjarnar hins gamla frá Mosfelli. Geir bjó í Hlíð í
Byskupstungu. Þeir Geir og Gissur fylgdust að hverju máli.



Í þenna tíma bjó Mörður Valgarðsson að Hofi á Rangárvöllum.
Hann var slægur og illgjarn. Þá var Valgarður utan, faðir
hans, en móðir hans önduð. Hann öfundaði mjög Gunnar frá
Hlíðarenda. Hann var vel auðigur að fé og heldur óvinsæll.
