Tyrkir ok Asíamenn byggðu Norðrlönd

Sturlaugs saga starfsama  1-

 “Allir menn, þeir sem sannfróðir eru at um tíðendi, vita, at Tyrkir ok Asíamenn byggðu Norðrlönd. Hófst þá tunga sú, er síðan dreifðist um öll lönd. Formaðr þess fólks hét Óðinn, er menn rekja ætt til.” 


 “All men, those that are truly learned about tidings, know, that Turks and Asia-men settled the Northlands (Norðrlönd). Their tongue  hath spread since about all lands. The foreman of these folk hight Óðinn, that men reckon kin to.”  

 Ynglinga saga 15 -

 “Svegðir tók ríki eptir föður sinn; hann strengði þess heit at leita Goðheims ok Óðins hins gamla. Hann fór með 12 menn víða um heiminn, hann kom út í Tyrkland ok í Svíþjóð hina miklu ok hitti þar marga frændr sína ok vini, ok var í þeirri för 5 vetr.”
 
 “Svegðir took the kingdom after his father; he swore to seek for the God-homes and for Odin the old. He fared with 12 men far about the world, and he came out into Turk-land and into Asia (=Svíþjóð hina miklu) and found there many of his kinsmen and friends, and was faring there 5 winters.”
