Meaning of Old Norwegian word "séttungr" in Norwegian.

As defined by the Johan Fritzer's Old Norwegian dictionary:

séttungr: séttungr, m. 1) Sjettedel; þeir sættust umþann séttung í garðinum Dn. I, 1468;hann hafði selt Þorbirni Sveinssyniséttunginn í allri Múlavika fiski Dn.II, 1747. 2) en mindre Landsinddeling (jvf halfa, þriðjungr, fjörðungr, átt-ungr); þá hefir prestr firirfarit reiðusínni í þeim séttungi eða áttungi, ersá maðr er ór, þá tolf mánaði Frost.2, 144 jvf 4, 811. 3) Maal for Korn og lignende Varer; 2 sæthon salt Dn. III,50718 (Bergs Sogn i Borgesyssel 1392);í Afleinum sex laupar ok tveigja sétt-ungs leiga, þveitis leiga ok tveggjamæla sáð Kalfsk. 11b27. Det er ikke klart, om derved skal forstaaes séttungrmælis, som nævnes Landsl. 8, 2914.Naar det heder: prestr skal hafa -halft sáld af hverjum bónda í Ólafssáð Borg. 1, 12 (34624), jvf EJb. 1501,synes derved at maatte forstaaes sétt-ungr sálds. Hvad der nu forstaaes ved Setting som Maal, kan sees hos IvarAasen. Efter Arent Berntsen (IV, 313.517. 521) skulde en Setting være dels 1/16Tønde, dels 1/4 Mæle eller 1/18 Tønde,dels 1/3 Mæle = 18 Sold.
