Hi Alan,

I'm not sure if this bit has been discussed yet, but I would have
read this as "...and he sat down beside him."

he = H�skuldr?
him = M�r�r?

setjask "to seat oneself, to take a seat, to set oneself down"
And note that 'honum' is used rather than the reflexive.

That said, Magn�s Magn�sson and Hermann P�lsson have: "and gave him
the seat beside his own."  I wonder if they paraphrased to clear up
the ambiguity for English readers.
