After they were parted Thorstein sought for Grim.
And they found him sore wounded,
while Steinar's son lay there by him dead.
And when Thorstein leapt on his horse,
then Steinar called after him,
'You run now,
Thorstein the white.'
Thorstein answered,
'You shall run further ere a week be out.'
Then Thorstein with his company
rode out over the moor, taking with them the boy Grim.
And when they came to the holt that is there, the boy died;
and they buried him there in the holt, called since Grimsholt.
And the place where they fought is called Battle-hillock.
Thorstein rode to Swan-ness that evening, as he had intended,
and sat there at the feast three nights,
after which he made him ready to go home.
Men offered to go with him,
but he would not;
so he and his Easterling friend rode two together.
