The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Videns autem Guthmundus apparatus sui fraudem hospitum frugalitate delusam, cum abstinentiam hebetare non posset, pudici- tiam labefactare constituit, omnibus ingenii neruis ad debilitandam eorum temperantiam inhians. Regi enim filie matrimonium offerens ceteris, quascumque e famulitio peterent, potiendas esse promittit. Plerisque rem approbantibus Thorkillus hunc quoque illecebrarum lapsum, sicut et ceteros, salubri monitu precurrit, industriam suam inter cautum hospitem ac letum conuiuam egregia moderatione partitus. Quatuor e Danis oblatum amplexi saluti libidinem pretuler- unt. Quod contagium lymphatos inopesque mentis effectos pristina rerum memoria spoliauit. Quippe post id factum parum animo constitisse traduntur. Qui si mores suos intra debitos temperantie fines continuissent, Herculeos equassent titulos, giganteam animo fortitudinem superassent perenniterque patrie mirificarum rerum insignes extitissent auctores.
