EXTRAIT DE LA SAGA DE GRETTIR ASMUNDSON. 313 leysast1. þorsteinn svarar: mér eru þessir hlutir jafnkunnugir sem þér, er nú talar þú (til; ok) er þat skylt3 at þú ráðir þessu, er svá gegnir vel, er þú lézt mik (þá) ráða, er miklu var [óvænligra á3 stefnt4, ok skal (svá breyta) Öllu sem þú [segir fyrir5; þetta kom mjök á menn óvara. Nú var þorsteinn [ij vetrum meir en6 hálfsjötugr, ok þó hraustr til allra athafna; bauð hann nú til sín öllum frændum sínum ok tengðamönnum ok gjörði bera fyrir þeim [ráðastofnan sína7; [viku vinir hans8 vel undir þat, ok þótti þó hinn mesti skaði at burtför þeirra. [þorsteinn sagði ekki (víst um) aptrkvámu sína9; vil ek nú þakka yðr öllum, segir hann, (fyrir þat) hversu þér gengut10 um góz mitt, meðan ek var úr landi næst11; nú vil ek [biðja yðr12 , at þér takit við fé barna minna ok þeim sjálfum ok fæðit þau upp eptir því sem yðvar er manndómr (til), þvfat (ek) er svá [til aldrs kominn13 at jöfn von er, hvort ek kem (aptr [eðr eigi14, þóat ek lifl enn15 um hríð); skulu þér svá fyrir öllu sjá, því sem ek á hér, allt eplir (sem ek muna) ekki (aptr vitja) til Nor- egs16. þá svöruðu inenn17 at mart væri gott til18 ráða, ef húsfreyja er19 eptir til umsjár; hún mælti (þá): því fór ek [utan úr [löndum ok úr20 Mikla- garði með þorsteini, ok fyrirlét ek bæði frændr21 ok fé, at ek vilda at eitt gengi yfir okkr (bæði; nú hefir mér) hér gott þótt, en ekki slægir mik hér til lángvista [í Noregi eðr hér22 í Norðrlönd- um, ef hann ferr á burt; hefir ok jafnan þokki með okkr verit, ok ekki at skilnaði orðit [; nú munu vit bæði ásamt23 fara, þvíat [okkr er kunn- aulam papæ proficiscamur, ibi enim meam causam decidi posse credo. Thorstein respondet: hæ res, quas nunc loqueris, mihi æque sunt notæ atque tibi; cum vero rem meo arbitrio permiseris, quando in eventum multo incertiorem commissa esset, consentaneum est, ut hæc res, quæ tam bene convenit, tuo arbitratu fiat; quare omnia, uti præcipis, instituenda sunt; hæc contra omnium opinionem evene- runt. Tum Thorstein septem et sexaginta annos natus, et tamen ad omnia opera fortissimus erat. Jam omuibus cognatis et affinibus advocatis, quam suscepisset consilii rationem aperuit; quam quidem amici ejus liberaliter acceperunt, sed in abitu eorum maximum damnum fieri existimarunt. Thorstein, cum reditum suum incertum esse significasset: jam vobis omnibus gratias agere volo, inquit, pro eo quam diligenter fortunarum mearum curam habuistis, dum peregre abfui proxime; nunc vos oratos volo, ut rem liberorum meorum ipsosque accipiatis, eosque, quæ vestra est virtus et humanitas, educetis; eo enim ætatis provectus sum, ut, si vel posthac aliquantum temporis in vita fuero, rediturus non magis sperari quam desperari possim; omnium rerum, quæ mihi hic sunt, ita curam habeatis, ut si in Nor- vegiam rediturus non sim; responderunt, consiliorum satis suppetere, si materfamilias remaneret ad curandum. Illa locuta est: ideo ego ab remotis terris, atque Miklagardo, Thorsteinem comitata, et pro- pinquos et fortunas reliqui, quod volui, ut una sorte communiter uleremur; mea quidem hoc Ioco mansio mihi voluplati fuit, nulla vero est res, quæ me adducat, ut hic in Norvegia aut in terris sep- temtrionalibus diutius commorer, si ille discedet; perpetue enim amoris aífectu juncti fuimus, volun- i) hann mitt mál mega leysa, a [ D. 2) fallit, E. 3) óráðligar, a [ D. ■*) verr stofnat, a [ E. 5) vilt, E. 6) a [ om.
