Nú skal enn segja dœmi af hverju þær kenningar eru er nú váru ritaðar, er áðr váru eigi dœmi til sǫgð, svá sem Bragi sagði Ægi at ‘Þórr var farinn í Austrvega at berja trǫll, en Óðinn reið Sleipni í Jǫtunheima ok kom til þess jǫtuns er Hrungnir hét. Þá spyrr Hrungnir hvat manna sá er með gullhjálminn er ríðr lopt ok lǫg ok segir at hann á furðu góðan hest. Óðinn sagði at þar vill hann veðja fyrir hǫfði sínu at engi hestr skal vera jafngóðr í Jǫtunheimum. Hrungnir sagði at sá er góðr hestr, en hafa lézk hann mundu myklu stórfetaðra hest; sá heitir Gullfaxi. Hrungnir varð reiðr ok hleypr upp á hest sinn ok hleypir eptir honum ok hyggr at launa honum ofrmæli. Óðinn hleypti svá mikit at hann var á ǫðru leiti fyrir, en Hrungnir var í svá miklum jǫtunmóð at hann fann eigi fyrr en hann sótti inn of Ásgrindr. Ok er hann kom at hallardurum, buðu Æsir honum til drykkju. Hann gekk í hǫllina ok bað fá sér drykkju.
