195. ... Þeir mæltu þá mikit við sendimenn Þórðar, at hann skyldi eigi finna Gizur jarl, en Krákr gerði eigi svá. Var hann tekinn ok færðr jarli. Tóku þeir hann á Hafsteinsstöðum, ok bar jarl þat at Kráki, at hann hefði farit með njósn eða nökkur óráð í móti jarlinum. Hann synjar þess mjök. Síðan var hann barðr ok bundinn á stiga ok svá afhýddr, at menn þóttust engan mann sét hafa meir hýddan eða hræddan. Ok veit jarl eigi gerr af Kráki, hvert hans erendi var.

Jarl mælti, er hann hafði lesit: „Þegar vissa ek, er ek sá hann, at hann myndi með illu fara, ok verði hann nú á brottu sem skjótast.“
Þeir bræðr riðu heiman ok kómu til Staðar. Kálfr mælti, er þeir jarl töluðu tveir, bað jarl vera varan um sik, „því at ek veit, hvat ek segi, ok má ek þó framar segja, ef ek vil.“
Jarl mælti: „Svá má vera, en hygg at því, frændi, nær þat skarð verðr bætt í ætt þinni, ef ek em ór höggvinn.“
