Not published: do not cite (Saxo, Gesta §viii. 14.6)
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Quo facto optato uento excepti in ulteriorem Byarmiam nauigant. Regio est perpetui frigoris capax prealtisque offusa niuibus, ne uim quidem feruoris persentiscit estiui, inuiorum abundans nemorum, frugum haud ferax inusitatisque alibi bestiis frequens. Crebri in ea fluuii ob insitas alueis cautes stridulo spumantique uolumine perferuntur. Illic Thorkillus subductis nauibus tendi in littore iubet, eo loci peruentum astruens, unde breuis ad Geruthuni transitus foret. Prohibuit etiam ullum cum superuenientibus miscere sermonem, affirmans monstra nullo magis nocendi uim quam aduenarum uerbis parum comiter editis sumere. Ideoque socios silentio tutiores existere, se uero solum tuto profari posse, qui prius gentis eius mores habitumque peruiderit.
