distinguished himself and (indeed) both they, Kári (and he had). Men had
much in (their) memories their pursuit-on-horseback (riding-after) when

þeir riðu tveir að fimmtán mönnum og drápu þá fimm en renndu þeim tíu er
undan komust.
they rode two against fifteen men and killed then five but ten ran from
them and made-their-way away (fled).


Hallur kvaðst nærgætur

had now sustained a great loss immediately (already). Hall
declared-himself to have turned-out-to-be guessing-near-the-truth (on
the money) in their cases.
