Not published: do not cite ([not skaldic])
The new edition is either unpublished or unavailable. The following is taken from an old edition (Skj where relevant):
Baugr, tvíeyringr eða meiri, skyldi liggja í hverju höfuðhofi á stalli. Þann baug skyldi hverr goði hafa á hendi sér til lögþinga þeirra allra, er hann skyldi sjálfr heyja, ok rjóða hann þar í roðru blótnauts þess, er hann blótaði þar sjálfur. Hverr sá maðr, er þar þurfti lögskil af hendi at leysa at dómi, skyldi áðr eið vinna at þeim baugi ok nefna sér vátta tvá eða fleiri. "Ykkr nefnik í þat vætti," skyldi hann segja, "at ek vinn eið at baugi, lögeið. Hjálpi mér svá nú Freyr ok Njörðr ok inn almáttki áss, sem ek mun svá sök þessa sækja eða verja, eðr vitni bera eðr kviðu, eðr dóma dæma, sem ek veit réttast ok sannast ok helzt at lögum, ok öll lögmæt skil af hendi leysa, þau er undir mik koma, meðan ek er á þessu þingi."
