The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Rex amici casum gemitu prosecutus maturata nauigatione
discessit. Qua primum prospera usus, deinde aduersa quassatus periclitatis inedia sociis paucisque adhuc superstitibus religionem
animo intulit atque ad uota superis nuncupanda confugit, extreme
necessitatis presidium in deorum ope consistere iudicans. Denique
aliis uarias deorum potentias exorantibus ac diuerse numinum
maiestati rem diuinam fieri oportere censentibus ipse Vgarthi-
locumn 15 uotis pariter ac propitiamentis aggressus prosperam exoptati
syderis temperiem assecutus est.
