quibus veteres maxime utebantur, incursiones fecit in oram
maritimam et liostium et liaud raro civium ipsius, plerumque
ad praedam agendam, quare nomen Víkíngr postremo in-
cipiebat angustiore notione illos significare, qui piraticam
exercebant. Ab his vero non ita differunt administri et sa-
tellites regis, qui pari ratione ad quamvis militiam promti,
quoad ille otiosos secum retinebat, hirSmenn quasi aulici yo-
cabantur, tum vero, quum infestis armis profecti sunt ali-
quam terram adortum, itidem et negotium et nomen Víkínga
induebant. Quod igitur aliis alio tempore institutis usi sint,
prorsus a fide abliorret, potius verisimile est, illos iisdem
legibus et domi et militiae adstrictos fuisse. Quidni ita res

istius societatis colligationem effecerunt convivia atque syssi-
tia, in quibus certo ordine plerumque discumbentes quotidie
epulabantur, aeque ac compotationes, quas ab aliis diversa
ratione instituebant, ut egregie ex loco quodam Snorronis libri
Heimskringla inscripti consequitur, ubi Hiorvardum quendam
ducem cum sodalibus ad regis Granmari convivium exornatum
accessisse narrans(l): „Vesperi, ait, quum pocula erant eva-
cuanda, fit pro more, inter reges, qui domi sedebant, aut
convivia ipsi instruebant, tunc temporis recepto, ut vespertino
tempore bini compotarent seorsiin, mas et femina, quoad pa-
ria dabantur jungenda, reliqui autem qui plures convenerant,
