Then the eighth point-storm [BATTLE] was again awakened in green Minorca; the ruler’s company reddened the Saami’s compensation [ARROWS].
[3] gjǫld Finns ‘the Saami’s compensation [ARROWS]’: Refers to the three magic arrows of Gusir, a legendary king of the Saami in Finnmark, Norway. The three arrows, the Gusisnautar ‘treasures of Gusir’, were feathered with gold, flew off the bow-string on their own accord, hit every target, and one did not have to search for them. When Gusir was killed, the arrows were taken by Ketill hœngr ‘Salmon’. See Ket ch. 3; Ǫrv ch. 4. See also Note to ÞjóðA Sex 15/8.
