text and translation
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Nú gengr konungsson brott af húsinu, en menn hans stóðu umhverfis húsit,
ok vildu eigi inn ganga á tal þeirra. Eiríkr gengr nú til konungshallar, ok
segir upp heitstrenging sína ok viðrtal þeirra Gests, en konungr ok drottning
ok öll hirðin varð hljótt við þetta, ok sögðu, at vélar Gests hefði ollat þessi
ógiptu. Ok er várar, spyrr konungr son sinn, hvat hann ætlar sinna ráða.
Eiríkr sagðist ætla ór landi með 30 skipa, at leita at konuefni sínu. Konungr
bað hann leitast um við Gest, at hann réðist til ferðar með honum; en Eiríkr
segist varla kunna at biðja hann hér mikilla muna um, en þó gengu þeir til
stofu. Gestr stóð upp í móti þeim, ok fagnar konung vel: “Ok eru þér
sjaldkvæmir hér” sagði hann “eða eru þeir nokkurir hlutir, er þér vilit mér til
segja”. Konungr svarar: “Þat vilda ek víst, at þú réðist í ferð með Eiríki syni
mínum, ok værir í ráði með honum, at hann kæmi fram heitstrenging sinni,
því at mér þykkir nokkut af þínum völdum hljótist hafa”. Gestr mælti: „Eigi
veld ek ummælum sonar yðar, þó at ek vilda eigi verja honum afli, at sjá
eignar mínar, eða læsa fyrir honum, svá hann bryti þær upp. Nú mun ek fara
með honum, ef hann játar, at ek ráða einn fyrir okkru liði ok sjálfum okkr,
meðan vér erum í þessi ferð“. Eiríkr játaði því. Þá bað Gestr standa
skipabúningin; en svá sem þaðan leið nokkurr tími fram á sumarit, eigi
allskammt, þá kom Eiríkr at máli við Gest, ok spurði, hvar til hann ætlar at
bíða, en hann kvað enn ekki of seinat.
