The Earl answered, "Thou farest well herein, Bessi, and showest at all times that thou art a high-minded man; still I am loth thus to break the laws of the land, giving respite to men of foredoomed lives." Then stepped forth Thorstein Dromond and greeted the Earl, and made offers on Grettir's behalf, and laid thereto many fair words. The Earl asked for what cause he made offers for this man.
Belgia, Belgium, or Gallia Belgica, the Low Countries, or Netherlands Bellocassi, or Velocasses, a people of Gaul, inhabiting the country of Bayeux, in Normandy; they furnish three thousand men to the relief of Alesia, G. vii. 75 Bergea, a city of Macedonia, now called Veria Berones, see Retones Bessi, a people of Thrace, Bessarabia; they make part of Pompey's army, C. iii. 4
A great number of very large whales were seen, which moved exceeding slow, and came very near the vessel. At noon, the center of Burro bore south, and the south point of Sulla Bessi, north 76° west. Burro is a very high island, and may be seen at the distance of twenty leagues with great ease.
But just about this period a people began to acquire political consolidation beyond the Danube in the wide Dacian steppes a people which seemed destined to play a different part in history from that of the Bessi and the Dentheletae.
He overran the rest of the country except the land of the Odrysae. These he spared because they are attached to the service of Dionysus, and had come to meet him on this occasion without arms.

So quoth Grettir "To our helping came The great of name; Thorfinn was there Born rule to bear; When all bolts fell Into locks, and hell Cried out for my life In the Tunsberg strife.

Foremost stood Thorfinn and Thorstein and Grettir, and then Bessi, and each of them had a large following of men with him. The Earl bade them to give up Grettir, nor to bring themselves into an evil strait; they made the very same offer as before. The Earl would not hearken thereto.
Grettir went back north with Thorfinn, and was with him till he gat him to ship with chapmen who were bound out to Iceland: he gave him many fair gifts of raiment, and a fair-stained saddle and a bridle withal. They parted in friendship, and Thorfinn bade him come to him whensoever he should come back to Norway. The leopard is Bessi Skald-Torfason; byrni's flame, his sword.
