Notes on Acallam na Senórach. 301
3021. Smirgat is called 'ingen Athaidh Étualaing' in Fr. 41Aa, and her
dress is thus described: ro gahustar a léne do slemain sida buidi fria cnes,

3033. Fixing the amount of a penalty by the weight of the person
injured j[^ is an interesting piece of popular jurisprudence. In Mon- /, *^ '*:/*'^*t^
tesquieu's time, if the students of Pisa on St. Catharine's day caught
a Jew in the streets, they weighed him and made him pay his weight in
sweetmeats, Ihe Quarterly Review, July 1899, p. 55. Compare 5693, where
the bride-price of a fairy princess is similarly determined, and note that
still in India a rájá sometimes gives his weight in gold to Brahmans. It
would be rash to cite Iliad XXII 351 — ovo' si' xsv a'avrlv XQ^*^^

practice existed in western Asia. L l^ *
