  • Kumlbúa þáttr (the tale of the cairn-dweller) is a short medieval Icelandic tale (þáttr) set at the end of the twelfth century or the beginning of the thirteenth. It tells the story of Þorsteinn Þorvarðsson who stumbles upon a burial cairn and takes a sword from it. After he returns home he goes to bed and is visited in a dream by the cairn-dweller. The man, who wields a huge pole-axe, demands the return of the sword and threatens Þorsteinn. Þorsteinn's wife wakes him to ask why he is sleeping so poorly but he does not tell her and goes back to sleep at once. The cairn-dweller reappears and declaims a threatening verse. However, Þorsteinn retorts with a more technically proficient verse which 'caps' that of the cairn-dweller who then leaves Þorsteinn. The following day Þorsteinn goes to look for the cairn but cannot find it. He returns home and tells his wife and other people the story. The text survives in fragmentary form in AM 564a 4to (Pseudo-Vatnshyrna) and in paper copies made by Árni Magnússon of the Vatnshyrna manuscript, which was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1728. Like Bergbúa þáttr, it is unusual amongst þættir for not being preserved as part of the kings' sagas manuscripts Flateyjarbók and Morkinskinna. (en)
  • Kumlbúa þáttr es una historia corta islandesa (þáttr) que trata sobre un islandés llamado Þorsteinn que obtiene una espada de una tumba. Su difunto propietario se le aparece en sueños y en un verso advierte que devuelva el arma, pero Þorsteinn responde con un verso desafiante. El relato suele ir acompañado de otro en los manuscritos, Bergbúa þáttr que también muestra a seres sobrenaturales que recitan versos para los humanos. El texto sobrevive de forma fragmentaria en el documento AM 564a 4.º.​​ (es)
  • Il Kumlbúa þáttr (italiano: Racconto dell'abitante del cairn) è un þáttr, cioè un racconto islandese medievale, ambientato alla fine del XII secolo o all'inizio del XIII. Fu scritto tra il 1390 e il 1425. Ricopiato dal manoscritto originale Vatnshyrna da Árni Magnússon prima dell', il testo è conservato in forma frammentaria nel manoscritto AM 564a 4to. È uno dei pochi þættir che non sono compresi nelle raccolte Flateyjarbók e Morkinskinna e per l'argomento del sogno è simile al e al Draumr Þórsteins Síðuhallssonar. (it)
