The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Maðr hét Ketill enn fíflski, son Jórunnar manvitsbrekku, dóttur Ketils flatnefs; hann fór af Suðureyjum til Íslands; (hann) var kristinn; hann nam land milli Geirlandsár ok Fjarðarár fyrir ofan Nýkoma. Ketill bjó í Kirkjubœ; þar hǫfðu áðr setit papar, ok eigi máttu þar heiðnir menn búa. Ketill var faðir Ásbjarnar, fǫður Þorsteins, fǫður Surts, fǫður Sighvats lǫgsǫgumanns, fǫður Kolbeins. Hildr hét dóttir Ásbjarnar, móðir Þóris, fǫður Hildar, er Skarpheðinn átti. Þorbjǫrg hét dóttir Ketils ens fíflska; hana átti Váli son Loðmundar ens gamla.
