[1] dísir ‘dísir, female spirits’: Not in 166bˣ, but in many other mss. The distribution of ‘dysi’ however is wide enough to suggest an archetype error. In pre-Christian belief, dísir were female tutelary spirits of the family or of an individual (Turville-Petre 1964, 221-6). Here they seem to have been transferred syncretically to a Christian context.
