Thanks LN - these comments of yours are always of much help
I am unsure but the einn after griðung - I thought would have been
one rather special - I wonder with what other word amd I confusing
einn - like - einn dag - or what ever - when it means one particular
whatever
And it pays to "cheat" and read ahead - yes - like cheating at cooking
With Delia Smith
Very useful indeed

That's right.
Yes.
"(this) one bull", "a bull"
flokkur manna.
large numbers (You'll never walk alone)
I think this is all the one event that it's describing, one particular
occasion: "Then [one day] they [the Norsemen] became aware of
Skraelings [Skrælingja, acc.], and there came forth out of the wood a
great host of men [i.e. the Skraelings]."
"fled with their burdens" (see my comments on Grace's translation).
Sometimes it pays to cheat and look ahead to the next paragraph (where
they still have their burdens)!
