Thorstein married Jofridr, daughter of Gunnar son of Hlif:
her mother was Helga daughter of Olaf Feilan,
sister of Thord Gellir.
Jofridr had before been wife of Thorod
the son of Tongue-Odd.
Soon after this Asgerdr died.
After her death Egil gave up his
housekeeping to Thorstein,
and went south to Moss-fell to Grim,
his son-in-law,
for he loved Thordis his step-daughter
most of all who were then living.
One summer a ship came out and put into Loam Bay,
steered by a man named Thormod.
He was a Norwegian,
a house-carle of Thorstein Thora's son.
He was to take with him a shield,
which Thorstein had sent to Egil Skallagrimsson:
it was a valuable treasure.
Thormod brought Egil the shield,
and he received it with thanks.
In the following winter
Egil composed a poem about the gift of the shield:
it is called Buckler-poem,
and this is the beginning:

'List to the stream of lay
From long-haired Odin flowing,
Thane of a king, and bid
Thy folk due silence keep.
For thee, sea-raven's ruler,
Rained from the eagle's beak
Full oft shall shower of song
In Horda's shore be heard.'

(Helga daughter of Olaf Feilan)
