Not published: do not cite (Saxo, Gesta §viii. 14.4)
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Tunc Thorkillus ex armentis, que in maritimis frequentia discurrebant, supra quod semel leniende fami sufficeret, negat esse tollendum: futurum enim, si secus agerent, ut a diis loci presidibus discedendi potentia priuarentur. At naute magisd prorogande satietatis quam seruandi imperii cupidiorese incitamento gule salutis consilium subiecerunt, exhausta nauium gremia cesorum gregum corporibus onerantes. Qui ideo captu perfaciles extitere, quod ad inusitatos uirorum aspectus firmato pauore mirabundi conuenerant.
