“Konungen sende eit annat Brev imot, som let so: „So framt du, Magnus Konung, gjerer Havle mein elder Skade, daa skal eg lata drepa Eiliv Eplastong, Skudo-Eirik og Eindride Slandre fyre dykker; fyre di deira Søner ero med dykker, Tore Knapp, Son hans Eindride, Ulv Kverre, Eiriks Son, Gunna, Eilivs Son; slik Daudahaatt skula dei hava, som de gjeva Havle; og detta skal Øyolv gjera.””

The King caused another letter to be written, in which he said, “If you, King Magnus, do harm or hurt to Afli, I will slay Eilif Eplastong, Skudu-Eirik, and Eindridi Slandri. You have with you their sons: Thori Knapp, Eindridi’s son; Ulf Kneiti, Eirik’s son; and Gunnar, Eiliv’s son. The death you inflict on Afli, such shall they die, at the hands of Eyolf.”
