Um landnám Gríms Kambans í Føroyum 51 øllum prentaðu útgávunum heldur tikið enn hin eyðsæð rætta tekstin í ÁM 61 fol. í útgávu Finns Jónssonar av Føroyingasøgu er høvuðsteksturin endurgivin eftir Flatoyar* bókini, men tekstarfrábrigdi úr handritum við so ymsum orðaljóði, at prentaðir áttu at verið tveir — í einstøkum førum tríggir — javnsíðis tekstir. Úrslitið av starvshátti út» gevarans verður ónýtiligur fóttekstur. Á hesum her viðgjørda staði kann tó av fóttekstinum gerast av, at teksturin í Flat* oyarbókini er komin í, sum her er frágreitt. Landnáma, sum vit nú hava hana, veit einki um, at Grímur Kamban búsettist í Føroyum, og tessvegna er tað lítið hugs= andi, at nakað hevur staðið í hini elstu Landnámuni, ið kundi borið á tað borðið. Høvundur Føroyingasøgu kann kortini væl byggja á sanna søgn, serliga um hann — sum eg ætli — er ættaður frá Grími Kambani; hann hevur einki sagt um, nær búsetingin fór fram, men sum Jørgen Steining viðmerkir í nevndu grein, muga vit, vegna ættartalvur frá Grími Kambani, seta komu hansara til oyggjanna o. u. 825. Hvat ið tíðarfestingini viðvíkur, er tí einki, sum forðar fyri tí, at Føroyingasøga kann hava rætt. SUMMARY The editions of Færeyinga saga are all based on Flateyarbók. In the first chapter of the saga in that manuscript it is stated that Grímr kamban was the first man to settle in the Faroes, and that he settled there in the days of King Haraldr hárfagri; but from genealogies, in Landnáma- bók and elsewhere, it is clear that Grímr kamban lived long before the days of King Haraldr. Scholars have thus agreed that the dating of this first settlement in Færeyinga saga is wrong. Finnur Jónsson thought it doubtful that the first chapter of Færeyinga saga was original (cf. Færeyingasaga, Copenhagen 1927, p. ix), but from the relationship of the text to Laxdæla saga we may conclude that this first chapter is at least as old as the original version of the saga. The sentence referring to Grímr kamban and his settlement in the Faroes is in Flateyarbók taken from a manuscript of Ólafs saga Tryggvasonar en mesta; from the text of AM 62 fol., a sister manuscript to Flateyarbók, it can be
