text and translation

The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):

Flosi bjó sig austan þá er tveir mánuðir voru til vetrar og
stefndi til sín öllum sínum mönnum þeim er honum höfðu liði og ferð
heitið. Hver þeirra hafði tvo hesta og góð vopn. Þeir komu
allir til Svínafells og voru þar um nóttina. Flosi lét snemma
veita sér tíðir drottinsdaginn en síðan gekk hann til borðs.
Hann sagði fyrir öllum heimamönnum sínum hvað hvergi skyldi
starfa meðan hann væri í brautu. Síðan gekk hann til hesta
sinna.

Þeir Flosi riðu vestur á sand. Flosi bað þá fyrst ekki
allákaft ríða og kvað þó hinn veg lúka mundu. Hann bað alla
bíða ef nokkur þyrfti að dveljast. Þeir riðu vestur til
Skógahverfis og komu í Kirkjubæ. Flosi bað alla menn koma til
kirkju og biðjast fyrir. Menn gerðu svo.

Síðan stigu þeir á hesta sína og riðu upp á fjall og svo til
Fiskivatna og riðu nokkuru fyrir vestan vötnin og stefndu svo
vestur á sandinn. Létu þeir þá Eyjafjallajökul á vinstri hönd
sér og svo ofan í Goðaland og svo til Markarfljóts og komu um
nónskeið annan dag vikunnar á Þríhyrningshálsa og biðu til
miðs aftans.

Komu þar þá allir nema Ingjaldur frá Keldum. Sigfússynir
töldu á hann mjög en Flosi bað þá ekki ámæla Ingjaldi meðan
hann væri eigi hjá "en þó skulum vér gjalda honum síðar."
