‘We encountered some happy, aggressive men in Trǫnuvágar, when we were going from there. Life-robbery [DEATH] had not shown itself ready for Ǫgmundr; three of us came away from there and they were nine. ’
The same encounter between Oddr and his deadliest enemy, Ǫgmundr Eyþjófsbani, is treated in Ǫrv 31-3 and in Oddr’s mannjafnaðr, Ǫrv 49-50. For the background, see Ǫrv 49 Note to [All].
