M. A. (død som ingeniørkaptajn 1728) meddeler A. M. i marts 1704 »Víst er þad, ad alla Sturlunga Sögu seigest Arne Gudmundz son ödlast hafa i blodum i Reykiar firde. Eru ur henne sidan blödin dreifd, og meina eg ei sie hia Arna eitt ark samfelldt ur þeirre sögu, nema ef vere kann utanum qver hingad og þangad hia hönum (A. M.s optegnelse i AM. 122 c, folio).
It is a fact that Árni Guðmundsson is said to have acquired all of Sturlunga saga in loose leaves in Reykjafjörður. Its leaves have since been scattered, and I don't think one bifolium of that saga remains in Árni's possession, unless the odd quire may still be with him.
