Hvernig skal sæ kenna? Svá, at kalla hann Ymis blóð, heimsækir goðanna, verr Ránar, faðir Ægisdætra, þeira er svá heita:

Svá sem kvað Ormr Barreyjarskáld:
Utan gnýr á eyri
Ymis blóð fara góðra.
Svá kvað Refur:
Vágþeysta berr vestan,
vætti ek lands fyr brandi,
hvalmæni skefr, húna
hógdýr of lög bógu.
Svá sem kvað Sveinn:
Þá er élreifar ófu
Ægis dætr ok tættu
föls, við frost of alnar,
fjallgarðs rokur harðar.
Ok sem kvað Refr:
Færir björn, þar er bára
brestr, undinna festa
oft í Ægis kjafta
úrsvöl Gymis völva.
Hér er sagt, at allt er eitt Ægir ok Hlér ok Gymir. Ok enn kvað hann:
En sægnípu Sleipnir
slítr úrdrifinn hvítrar
Ránar, rauðum steini
runnit, brjóst ór munni.
