At Kvikne there was a place with bunks [near] the stone Hiåsjøene.
He had married Gunhild Olsdatter who the Swedes had threatened death by axes [made of thick steel] (eggstål) during the [armed conflict or march] Armfeldttoget in 1718. The men lay on the forest ground with their and axes hidden. Finally they [Swedes] came for the day, and a soldier held his axe at the neck of Gunhild. She believed that she would have been axed. After a time [when it had enough] " stop gumman ! " Gunhild replied calmly: - a hooded wart eat had bit me, so [if you hurt me you will get wars]. Think about it."
The Swedes got their horse as they saddled up, [took] a sheepskin coat with a sheepskin and meat and two loads of hay. They also took brought two barrels of barley and a barrel of oats, cheese and butter. Gunhild [and ?] received 24 riksdaler and 6 skilling in the claims settlement of 1719.

Gunhild svarte rolig: - Ha det vørte hett åt me, så ha det fell itj vørte kaldar åt de, tenkje e.
