and Gunnlaug Worm-tongue.  They are called the Gilsbecking-race.  Unn spoke to her men and said:  “Now you shall be rewarded for all your work, for now I do not lack means with which to pay each one of you for your toil and good-will.  You all know that I have given the man named Erp, son of Earl Meldun, his freedom, for far away was it from my wish that so high-born a man should bear the name of thrall.”  Afterwards Unn gave him the lands of Sheepfell, between Tongue River and Mid River.  His children were Orm and Asgeir, Gunbjorn, and Halldis, whom Alf o’ Dales had for wife.  To Sokkolf Unn gave Sokkolfsdale, where he abode to old age.  Hundi was the name of one of her freedmen.  He was of Scottish kin.  To him she gave Hundidale.  Osk was the name of the fourth daughter of Thorstein the Red.  She was the mother of Thorstein Swart, the Wise, who found the “Summer eeke.”  Thorhild was the name of a fifth daughter of Thorstein.  She was the mother of Alf o’ Dales, and many great men trace back their line of descent to him.  His daughter was Thorgerd, wife of Ari Marson of Reekness, the son of Atli, the son of Ulf the Squinter and Bjorg, Eyvond’s daughter, the sister of Helgi the Lean.  From them come all the Reeknessings.  Vigdis was the name of the sixth daughter of Thorstein the Red.  From her come the men of Headland of Islefirth.
