Note to Eskál Vell 14I

[4] lǫnd hofs ‘the lands of the temple’: Whether hof denoted a structure solely devoted to religion, or a large hall serving both religious purposes and other uses, cannot be clearly discerned (Sundqvist 2005b, 331-4). It may be that the land surrounding the temple was somehow part of the sanctuary (Vikstrand 2001, 265).
