Þá höfðu þeir Þorvaldr skipazt fyrir dyrrnar ok gerðu kví at Hrafni ok förunautum hans, en Þorvaldr stóð stund frá durunum ok hafði sverð í hendi ok brugðit á miðjar slíðrar, ok Hrafn hvarf til hans, en Þorvaldr tók kveðju hans, ok síðan settust þeir niðr ok hjöluðu, ok varð Þorvaldi ekki at orðum við Hrafn, ok þat þótti Hrafni undarligt, ok eigi sá Hrafn erendi Þorvalds við sik í því sinni. 

Then Thorvaldr (and the others) had drawn up before the doors and made a lane of men gradually narrowing to Hrafn and his fellow travellers, but Thorvaldr stood a while away from the doorway (plural in O.I.), and he had a sword in his hand and drawn at half the sheath, and Hrafn turned to him, and Thorvaldr received his greeting, and then they sat down and talked, and Thorvaldr wasn't at words with Hrafn, and it seemed to Hrafn extraordinary, and Hrafn didn't see Thorvaldr's errand with himself at that time.

Af þeim fundi fór hvárr þeira til síns heimilis. 

From their meeting, each of them went to his home.

Loftr keypti síðan bæ þann á Rauðasandi, er at Stökkum hét, ok gerði þar bú á. 

Loftr then bought the farmstead at Raudasand, which was called "at Stokkum," and he made a farm on it.

Þat ætluðu margir menn, at Eyjólfr Þorsteinsson, mágr Lofts, mundi rétta hluta hans ok þeir Sunnlendingar fyrir þingvistar sakir um ránit við Þorvald, en þat varð ekki. 

Many men intended that Eyjolfr Thorsteinson, Loft's in-law, would redress him and the Sunnlendingars for a domicile in a þing-community on account of the robbery against Thorvaldr, but that didn't happen.

Þá var kveðin vísa þessi:

Then this verse was written:

[option A]

   Víst eru farnir flestir

   fálu hests it mesta,

   þótt lýðir böl bíði,

   bræðendr at harðræðum.

   slíkt heyrik oft, með Lofti

   stála strangra éla

   stefni ráns at hefna.[17]
