Not published: do not cite (Saxo, Gesta §viii. 14.17)
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Alterius deinde tabernaculi postica angustiorem indicante secessum quoddam uberioris thesauri secretarium aperitur, in quo arma humanorum corporum habitu grandiora panduntur. Inter que regium paludamentum cultiori coniunctum pilleo ac mirifici operis cingulum uisebantur. Quorum Thorkillus ammiratione captus cupiditati frenos excussit, propositam animo temperantiam exuens, totiesque alios informare solitus ne proprios quidem appetitus cohibere sustinuit. Amiculo enim manum inserens ceteris consenta- neum rapine ausum temerario porrexit exemplo.
