Abstrakt:	This article is a step toward bringing research on the Old Icelandic Grágás up to date with the latest findings of oral theory. By reconsidering alliteration in one section of the oldest Icelandic law code, this article means to correct the theoretical model and metanarrative by means of which the Grágás has been misinterpreted as oral law.
