The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Í Svíþjóðu var þat forn landssiðr, meðan heiðni var þar, at hǫfuðblót skyldi vera at Uppsǫlum at gói. Skyldi þá blóta til friðar ok sigrs konungi sínum, ok skyldu menn þangat sœkja um allt Svíaveldi. Skyldi þar þá ok vera þing allra Svía. Þar var ok þá markaðr ok kaupstefna ok stóð viku. En er kristni var í Svíþjóð, þá hélzk þar þó lǫgþing ok markaðr. En nú síðan er kristni var alsiða í Svíþjóð, en konungar afrœkðuzk at sitja at Uppsǫlum, þá var fœrðr markaðrinn ok hafðr kyndilmessu. Hefir þat haldizk alla stund síðan, ok er nú hafðr eigi meiri en stendr þrjá daga. Er þar þing Svía, ok sœkja þeir þar til um allt land.
