At the introduction of Christianity this office remained with the supreme priest, who retained his name; and he, and not the bishop of Skalholt, opened the alþing every year; Þorsteinn Ingólfsson lét setja fyrstr manna þing á Kjalarnesi áðr alþingi var sett, ok fylgir þar enn (still, viz. in the 13th century) sökum þess því goðorði (viz. the priesthood of Kjalarnes, aliter allsherjar goðorð) alþingis helgun, Landn. 336 (the text as found in the Melabók), Landn. 39, Þórð. 94 (Ed. 1860), and Landn.

BÆÐI, [v. báðir, where in p. 54, col. 2, 1. 7, the words 'rarely Norse' should be struck out], used adverbially, both, Scot. ' baithh, 'with conjunctions connecting two parts of a sentence: a. bæði, ... ok, both ... and; bæði vitr ok framgjarn, both wise and bold, Nj. 6; b. blár ok digr, Fms. vii. 162; vitandi bœði gott ok illt, knowing both good and evil, Stj. 145.

I. a court of judgment, the body of judges, or the 'court' itself; the Icel. law of the Common- wealth distinguishes between several bodies of judges; in parliament there were Fjórðungs-dómar, ' Quarter Courts, ' one for each of the poli- tical quarters of the country, Breiðfirðinga-d. or Vesttirðinga-d. for the West, Rangaeinga-d. for the South, Eyiîrðinga-d. or Norðlendinga-d. lor the North, and Austfirðinga-d. for the East; these courts were instituted by Thord Gellir A.
