The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Trecentis idem cum rege uotum nuncupantibus auctorem fame Thorkillum itineris ducem assumi placuit, utpote locorum gnarum peritumque adeunde regionis eius. Is officio non recusato aduersum inusitatam nauigandi maris seuitiam firmiore structure genere nodis- que crebrioribus ac consertioribus clauis preparanda iubet nauigia solidari, eademque magnis repleri commeatibus ac bouinis superne tergoribus claudi, que intrinseca nauium spatia ab incursantium undarum aspergine tuerentur. Inde tribus dumtaxat liburnis nauiga- tio tenditur, unaquaque centenos capiente delectos.
