But when Egil was ready, and a fair wind blew, he sailed out to sea, and his voyage sped well. He came in the autumn to Iceland, and stood into Borgar-firth.
He had now been out twelve winters. Skallagrim was an old man by this time.
Full glad was he when Egil came home. Egil went to lodge at Borg,
and with him Thofid Strong and many of their company;
and they were there with Skallagrim for the winter. Egil had immense store of wealth;
but it is not told that Egil shared that silver which king Athelstan had given him either with Skallagrim or others. That winter Thorfid married Sæunn, Skallagrim's daughter;
and in the following spring Skallagrim gave them a homestead at Long-river-foss,
and the land inwards from Leiru-brook between Long-river and Swan-river,
even up to the fell. Daughter of Thorfid and Sæunn was Thordis wife to Arngeir in Holm,
the son of Bersi Godless. Their son was Bjorn, Hitadale's champion.
Egil abode there with Skallagrim several winters.
He took upon him the management of the property and farm no less than Skallagrim.
Egil became more and more bald. The country-side began now to be settled far and wide. Hromund, brother of Grim the Halogalander,
settled at this time in Cross-river-lithe with his shipmates.
Hromund was father of Gunnlaug, the father of Thuridr Dylla, mother of Illugi the Swarthy.
