En er Suttungr sá flug arnarins, tók hann sér arnarham ok flaug eftir honum. En er Æsir sá, hvar Óðinn flaug, þá settu þeir út í garðinn ker sín, en er Óðinn kom inn of Ásgarð, þá spýtti hann upp miðinum í kerin, en honum var þá svá nær komit, at Suttungr myndi ná honum, at hann sendi aptr suman mjǫðinn, ok var þess ekki gætt.
