Chapter 48 - Dream of Án brushwood-belly.

Kjartan situr hinn fjórða dag páska á Hóli. Var þar hin mesta skemmtan og
Kjartan sits (stays) on (the) fourth day of Easter at Hóll. There was the greatest entertainment and

Hann svarar: "Kona kom að mér óþekkileg og kippti mér á stokk fram.
He answers. “A woman came to me, repulsive (she was), and pulled me forward onto (the) board at the front of the bed. (stokkr, Z4)

Þeir Kjartan hlógu mjög að drauminum og kváðu hann heita skyldu Án hrísmaga.
They, Kjartan (et al) laughed much at the-dream and (they) declared he should be-called Án brushwood-belly.

Þrifu þeir til hans og kváðust leita skyldu hvort hrís væri í maganum.
They take-hold of him and declared-of-themselves (that they) should search whether brushwood were in the-belly.

Þá mælti Auður: "Eigi þarf að spotta þetta svo mjög. Er það mitt tillag að

Kjartan mælti: "Vera kann að yður þyki Án hrísmagi mjög merkimáll þá er hann

Og fara mun eg sem eg hefi áður ætlað fyrir þessum draum."
And I will travel as I already intended before this dream.”
