Chapter 42
Ingólf Settles
At Reykjavík (A. D. 874)
Eptir
þat fór Ingólfr vestr til Hjörleifshöfða; ok er hann sá Hjörleif dauðan,
mælti hann: "Lítit lagðisk hér fyrir góðan dreng, er þrælar skyldu
at bana verða, ok sé ek svá hverjum verða, ef eigi vill blóta." Ingólfr
lét búa gröpt þeira Hjörleifs, ok sjá fyrir skipi þeira ok fjárhlut. Ingólfr
gekk þá upp á höfðann, ok sá eyjar liggja í útsuðr til hafs; kom honum
þat í hug, at þeir mundu þangat hlaupit hafa, þvíat bátrinn var horfinn;
fóru þeir at leita þrælanna, ok fundu þá þar sem Eið heitir í eyjunum;
váru þeir þá at mat, er þeir Ingólfr kvámu at þeim. Þeir urðu felmzfullir,
ok hljóp sinn veg hverr. Ingólfr drap þá alla. Þar heitir Dufþaksskor,
er hann lézk. Fleiri hljópu þeir fyrir berg, þar sem við þá er kent síðan.
Vestmannaeyjar heita þar síðan, er þrælarnir váru drepnir, þvíat þeir
váru Vestmenn. Þeir Ingólfr höfðu með sér konur þeira, er myrðir höfðu
verit; fóru þeir þá aptr til Hjörleifshöfða; var Ingólfr þar vetr annan;
en um sumarit eftir fór hann vestr með sjó. Hann var enn þriðja vetr undir
Ingólfsfelli fyrir vestan Ölfusá, þar sem sumir segja hann sé heygðr.
Þau misseri fundu þeir Vífill ok Karli öndvegissúlur hans við Arnarhvál
fyrir neðan heiði.
Ingólfr fór um várit ofan
um heiði; hann tók sér bústað þar sem öndvegissúlur hans höfðu á land
komit; hann bjó í Reykjarvík; þar eru enn öndvegissúlur hans í eldhúsi.
En Ingólfr nam land milli Ölfusár ok Hvalfjarðar, fyrir utan Brynjudalsá,
milli ok Øxarár, ok öll nes út. Þá mælti Karli: "Til ills fóru vér
um góð heruð, er vér skulum byggja útnes þetta." Hann hvarf á brott
ok ambátt með honum. Vífli gaf Ingólfr frelsi, ok bygði hann at Vífilstoftum;
við hann er kent Vífilsfell; þar bjó hann lengi, ok varð skilríkr maðr.
Ingólfr lét gøra skála á Skálafelli; þaðan sá hann reyki við Ölfusvatn
ok fann þar Karla.
Ingólfr var frægastr allra
landnámsmanna, þvíat hann kom hér at óbygðu landi, ok bygði fyrstr landit;
gørðu þat aðrir landnámsmenn eftir hans dœmum.
