[ 91 1 “ Ochere faid, that the {hire which he inhabited is called Halgoland, and that no “ one dwelt to the north of him. In the fouth of this land is a port called Sci- “ ringefheal. Thither he told nobody could fail in lefs than a month, although he “ proceeded in the night, and every day had a fair wind. And during the (faid) “ time he fhould fail near the land, and have on ftarboard firft Ireland, and then “ the other iflands, which are between Ireland and his country. Then, before he “ arrives at Sciringeflieal, and all the way on larboard is the land of Norway. To “ the fouth of Sciringelheal a great fea runs up into the country, and is fo wide that cc nobody can fee acrofs it. Oppofite (to Sciringefheal) on the other fide is Goth- “ land, and then Steland, which by the faid fea is interfiedted for many miles. And <f from Sciringeflieal he faid that he failed in five days to a harbour called the port “ of Haethum, which is fituated between the Wandals, the Angels, and the Saxons, “ but belongs to the Danes. When he failed thither from Sciringeflieal, Denmark “ lay on the larboard, as did a wide fea on the ftarboard, in the courfe of the three <e firft days. But the two days before he arrived to Hasthum, he had Gothland, and “ Saeland, and many iflands (which the Englifli inhabited before they came to “ England), on his larboard.” Ibid. A Ruffian hat. From hence, as well as from the life of Nial, cap. 31, it appears, that hats manufafiured in Ruffia have, during the ninth and tenth century, been highly efteemed. For Harald Gormfon, king of Denmark, gave along with his fuit of cl oaths a Ruffian hat to Gunnar af Hlidarenda, an Icelandic nobleman. It muft alfo be remarked, that the .Icelanders, called Ruffia, particularly the princi- pality of Kiow, Gardarike, from Gorod, or, as they have fpoken it, Garad, and Gard, a word fo frequent in the end of the proper names of places, viz. Novogorod, Inganagorod, Iamogorod, which fignifies the fame as gardr, an inclofure, a faft place,, a burg, or caftle. Vid. Notas in Gotreks i'agam, p. 96. P. 4. Three marks of Jther. From this one might draw the conclufion, that the Norwegians had no coins, as the filver was weighed in fcales •, but the life of St. Olave (hews that coins were not received in the market without being firft examined, and weighed. P. 9. Building materials. The gentlemen of fortune, being fond of large and extenfive dwelling houies, brought frequently building timber from Norway; and thofe who were fatisfied with lefs, found materials enough in the woods of their own ifland, which, we are told, were in the beginning of its being difcovered, and long time fince, covered with extenfive forefts. See Landnama in many places, particularly chap. 14, p. 16, which tell us that Avangr, a Norwegian, having taken into his pofleffion the land of Botn, near the firth called Huals fiord, in the fouth .of Iceland, found it abounding with great woods, which enabled him to build a veffel fit for foreign trade. He loaded her in a place called Hladhammar. Svarfdre- lafaga relates the fame of Svarfardal in the north.
