slander about another : that is exaggeration if a man says 

 about another what cannot take place, or will not, or has not, 

 saying he is a woman every ninth night, and has borne a child, 

 and calls him gylvin (she-wolf). He is an outlaw, if it is 

 proved ; he shall redeem the offence with an oath of reconcilia- 

 tion ; he falls as an outlaw if he is slain " (Earlier Gulathing's 

 Law, 138).
