The compensation depended on the status of the victim, but could also be affected by the circumstances of the killing, for example a killing from ambush or by poison meant the payment of double galanas.
Women paid half the rate of payment by men.
The first third of the galanas falls on the homicide, his father and mother and brothers and sisters.
In the existing texts, dating from the 13th century, one third of the sum paid was due to the Lord as the enforcing authority, but this is considered to be an innovation.
