Then Thorolf went to Thorir, as he had said,
and met there a right hearty welcome.
Thorir bade him be with him.
This Thorolf said he would accept;
'and there is,' said he,
'one with me who must have
lodging where I am;
he is my brother,
and he has never before been
away from home,
and he needs that I look after him.'
Thorir said that Thorolf had every right,
if he would,
to bring more men with him thither.
'Your brother, too,' said he, 'we think,
betters our company if he be
at all like you.'
Then Thorolf went to his ship,
and had it drawn up and made snug,
whereafter he and Egil went
to lord Thorir.
Thorir had a son named Arinbjorn,
who was somewhat older than Egil.
Arinbjorn early showed
himself a manly
fellow and a doughty.
With Arinbjorn Egil struck
up a friendship,
and was ever his follower.
But between the brothers was
rather a coolness.
