In the spring following that winter Thorolf and Egil made them ready
to go again a-freebooting.
And when ready, they again stood for the eastern way.
But when they came to Vik, they sailed then south along Jutland,
and harried there;
then went to Friesland, where they stayed for a great part of the summer;
but then stood back for Denmark.
But when they came to the borderland where Denmark and Friesland meet,
and lay by the land there, so it was that one evening when they
on shipboard were preparing for sleep,
two men came to Egil's ship, and said they had an errand to him.
They were brought before him.
They said that Aki the wealthy had sent them thither with this message:

Eyvind had slain a man on holy ground; he was therefore made accursed,
and had to go abroad at once. The king offered a fine for the man;
but Thorolf and Thorfid said they never had taken man-fine, and would not take this.
With that they parted. Thorir and his company went home.
King Eric and Gunnhilda sent Eyvind south to Denmark to king Harold Gormsson,
for he might not now abide on Norwegian soil.
The king received him and his comrades well:
Eyvind brought to Denmark a large war-ship.
He then appointed Eyvind to be his coastguard there against freebooters,
for Eyvind was a right good warrior.
