Egil and his company had a prosperous voyage;
they came to Norway eastwards in Vik,
and sailed their ship right into Osloar-firth.
Up on land there Thorstein had estates,
and also inwards as far as Raumarik.
And when Thorstein landed there,
he then preferred his claim to
his father's property before the stewards
who were settled on his farm.
Many lent help to Thorstein in this matter:
a meeting was held about it:
Thorstein had there many kinsmen of renown.
The end was that it was referred to the king's decision,
Thorstein meanwhile taking to him
the safe-keeping of his father's possessions.
For winter lodgment Egil went to
Thorstein's with eleven more.
Thither to Thorstein's house was moved
the wheat and honey;
a merry time of it they had that winter.
Thorstein kept house in grand style,
for provisions were in plenty.
