Page 49 Chapter

But when Thorolf came to Kvenland and met king Faravid,
they made them ready for their march,
being three hundred of the kings men and a fourth
hundred Norsemen.
And they went by the upper way over Finmark,
and came where the Kiriales were on the fell,
the same who had before harried the Kvens.
These, when they were aware of the enemy,
gathered themselves and advanced to meet them,
expecting victory as heretofore. But,
on the battle being joined,
the Norsemen charged furiously forwards,
bearing shields stronger than those of the Kvens;
the slaughter turned to be in the
Kiriales' ranks—many fell,
some fled. King Faravid and Thorolf took there
immense wealth of spoil,
and returned to Kvenland, whence afterwards
Thorolf and his men came to Finmark,
he and Faravid parting in friendship.
Thorolf came down from the fell to Vefsnir;
then went first to his farm at Sandness,
stayed there awhile, and in spring went with his
men north to Torgar.
