3	70	The naval tradition of Cos is an ancient one, and many of the officers of Port Cos were native Cosians, mercenaries or veterans of the Cosian navy, on detached duty to the colony, that the interests of the mother island might be defended on the Vosk.	10

9	22	It was the first in this march the Cosians had prepared, as far as I knew.	10
15	295	"The aqueducts have now been closed by the Cosians, and their flows diverted," he said.	10
15	326	"You could negotiate with the Cosians," I said.	10
15	435	Too, left behind they might well have been killed, absurdly enough, by the Cosians, an unnecessary and foolish waste of able men, in my opinion, whereas I now have four more grateful, loyal fellows in my ranks, any one of whom I think would willingly die for me".	10
15	642	"Presumably Ar's Station, if subjected to attack, could be relieved by a small force," he said, "and a countermarch to the coast could cut off the Cosians from their base in Brundisium".	10
15	669	"And because the Cosians could be too easily cut off from Brundisium".	10
15	729	"Such letters may have their weight with those of Ar but would scarcely seem designed to impress Cosians".	10
16	1763	"The Cosians," I said, "apparently do not fear the arrival of a relieving force from Ar".	10

20	242	That particular chain, I had heard, was employed in the north, currently digging siege trenches for the Cosians who had invested Torcadino.	10
23	96	I had feared that we might be bound for Torcadino, a city currently under siege by Cosians, and their allies, where, employed in the siegeworks, digging investing trenches, raising earth walls, and such, labored the "black chain of Ionicus," that chain for which I had aided in the "enlistment" or "r...	10

21	1027	"And then," said Aemilianus, "if you would, as one of these females was prepared to surrender herself to Cosians, and the other served Cosians, in betraying her city, see that they come into the keeping of Cosians".	10
24	438	In order, however, that you come into the keeping of Cosians, attendance at the auction, save by sales personnel, will be limited to Cosians.	10
1	408	I supposed that if the Cosians did not mind, there was no point in Venna, who could use cheap labor, becoming exercised about the matter either.	10
2	52	"Only what I hear," he said, "—that the Cosians have invested Ar's Station, on three sides by land, and have closed the harbor, that with a wall of chained rafts".	10
2	58	"Cosians, as far as you know," I said, "hold no part of the city itself".	10
2	65	"I have heard there are thousands of Cosians, their auxiliaries, and their mercenaries, at Ar's Station," he said.	10
2	74	The Cosians, I think, did not expect such resistance".	10
2	81	I say 'in theory' because one of the charter cities in the Vosk League is Port Cos, which, although it is a sovereign polis, was originally founded by, and settled by, Cosians.	10
2	109	This, in effect, insanely, or at least inexplicably, in my opinion, exposed Ar and her heartland to the Cosians.	10
2	111	Ar had not moved against the Cosians at Torcadino.	10
2	140	This being the case, however, why had the army of Ar not kept to it, on its presumed journey to raise the siege of Ar's Station? The most likely hypothesis seemed to me to be that it was making its way not to Ar's Station but to Brundisium, where, months ago, the Cosians had landed.	10
2	141	This suggested that either Ar's Station was to be sacrificed in these harsh games, or that it was the thinking of Ar's commanders that a move to Brundisium would lift the siege of Ar's Station, the Cosians there perhaps then being withdrawn to protect Brundisium.	10
2	149	The major objection, of course, was that this move exposed Ar herself to the main force of Cosians, which was in the vicinity of Torcadino.	10
2	157	Indeed, if this were true, it seems that Ar, by now, should have appeared on the western flank of the Cosians.	10
2	262	"I was visiting in the north, and forced to flee at the approach of Cosians".	10
5	49	"Doubtless you followed Cosians," I said, "or their suppliers, smelling booty, lured by the possibilities of spoils, by the supposed imminent passage south of men laden with the plate and coin of Ar's Station, men who might succumb to your claims of need and plight, hoping perhaps even to contract a...	10
5	497	If I appeared to be of Ar, I might fall afoul of Cosians.	10
6	538	It was invested by Cosians, and mercenaries.	10
6	749	If the keeper did decide to shave off, or crop, the hair of the Lady Temione, and, for that matter, the others, the Lady Amina, the Lady Rimice, and so on, he would presumably sell it to suppliers to the Cosians.	10
6	884	"You are on your way to the Cosians' siege camp at Ar's Station," I hazarded.	10
9	135	Resistance was still such that few Cosians could reach the parapets, and those who did were usually driven back.	10
9	306	The Cosians in the front trenches, and behind the earthworks and hurdles, who would have borne the brunt of the sorties in the past, and had doubtless contributed more than their share to the assaults, would not, I thought, be averse to finding a woman among them, particularly one naked and on a cha...	10
10	213	"But then," I said, "it is said, I have heard, that those of Port Kar prize Cosians as slaves".	10
10	322	The countryside swarmed with Cosians, and their mercenaries and allies.	10
10	326	I feared my position might be noticed at any moment by Cosians, and that I might be trapped against the wall.	10
10	460	"Behind the trenches I think the Cosians are forming," said a fellow.	10
10	474	"There are many Cosians forming," said a fellow, near the wall.	10
11	263	Perhaps this information is not really that secret, at least to Cosians.	10
12	104	"Then the Cosians were upon us," she said.	10
12	157	"I had hoarded it from the beginning of the siege, even buying it up when it was cheap, early in the siege, when it was still thought that Ar, any day, would arrive with her banners fluttering in the wind, dispelling the Cosians like the sun the fogs on the river!" "For gold then?" I asked.	10
12	163	"Cosians, like those of Ar, or elsewhere, expect those whose allegiance has been freely given to serve as those who have given their allegiance freely, and not as merchants or mercenaries".	10
12	174	The Cosians had agreed not to make her a slave, not to free her, if she had already been made a slave.	10
13	19	Cosians were now within the city.	10
13	30	"It is Cosians," I said.	10
13	66	"The Cosians must not bring their catapults into action, at this range," she said.	10
14	96	I did not explain this to her, but from so small a detail I gathered some estimate of the straits of the defenders, and the numbers and positions of the Cosians, and the menace of their engines.	10
14	106	"It is possible that you will soon be in greater danger from Cosians than from your compatriots of Ar's Station".	10
14	122	"Cosians will enter, with fire and sword.	10
14	128	"The Cosians have waited long for Ar's Station," I said.	10
14	177	"Cosians".	10
15	355	"Did you not expect to tear off your veil before Cosians?" I asked.	10
15	390	"What formulas had you in mind to use to the Cosians?" I asked.	10
15	422	"What did you expect to do," I asked, "if, say, Cosians, or others, in darkened buildings or flaming streets, came upon you?" "I had thought I would have had my letter of safety," she said.	10
15	465	"And what, then," I asked, "would you have done, if Cosians had come upon you?" "I am a free woman!" she said.	10
15	526	"There are your friends, the Cosians," I said to Lady Publia.	10
15	533	"You were bearing much gold," I said, "which, foolishly, you thought to offer to Cosians, that they might spare you and keep you as a slave.	10
15	544	Cosians would see you, you hoped, not in terms of politics, but merely in terms of loot.	10
15	594	"Now," I said, "if Cosians come on you, you will be on the same footing as the other women of Ar's Station".	10
15	609	"Even shorn as she is," I said to Lady Claudia, "do you not think that Cosians might spare her?" "She is very beautiful," said Lady Claudia, "even shorn as she is.	10
15	610	Yes, I think that Cosians might spare her".	10
15	667	"Perhaps Cosians might spare her".	10
15	669	"Why do you speak so explicitly of Cosians?" asked Lady Publia suddenly, apprehensively.	10
15	723	"Perhaps you would like, even, to be permitted to use some of those formulas and phrases which you rehearsed so carefully, for use before Cosians?" I asked.	10
15	812	"I wager that you, too, would like to have the opportunity to prostrate yourself before Cosians".	10
15	824	Accordingly, in this fashion, if there should be more than one such agent, Cosians would not know which of them was mounted on the pole.	10
15	885	Doubtless those are displayed for the interest and delectation of Cosians, and masters".	10
16	44	If Cosians used them here they might have created gaps in the battlements.	10
16	98	This isolated the Cosians who had attained the wall.	10
16	114	The Cosians had waited long for this day.	10
16	175	"It may be our only hope at escape," I said, "you falling to Cosians, I perhaps managing to mingle with them".	10
16	328	We heard laughter from down on the wall, and, I think, even from Cosians below the wall.	10
16	522	Were Cosians not to know their swords had been warmed and nicked in their romp? "Ho, fools!" I cried, striding down the walkway.	10
16	534	But what will it cost the Cosians?" "Much," said a man, grimly.	10
17	44	At another bridge, Vosk fishermen, from the vicinity of Ar's Station, fought, perhaps men who had merely been trapped in the city when the Cosians had taken their positions, and, at another bridge, huntsmen, from the interior, perhaps similarly detained.	10
17	77	But Cosians came over the wall.	10
17	93	Cosians, sweating, their eyes wild in their helmets, reaching out from ropes, and ladders, struggled through, and over, the crenels.	10
17	100	At one end of the wall I saw Cosians coming through a tower.	10
17	110	More Cosians came over the wall.	10
17	141	Cosians were trying to run planks out from the tower, to span the crevice between the tower and wall.	10
17	153	Two swung back on ropes and climbed through the crenelation, almost as though they might have been Cosians.	10
17	156	I saw more Cosians spew forth from a tower, over its bridge, and fall into tarn wire, and meet the pikes of defenders.	10
17	157	From where I stood I could see, outside and below, hundreds of Cosians, and their mercenaries and allies.	10
17	161	Sometimes Cosians and defenders, fighting, were on the very bridges being pried upward.	10
17	164	But other men, Cosians, within, dozens, some with axes, half breaking the bridges apart, from the inside, forced them down again.	10
17	269	There more Cosians leapt from the bridge of a tower, clambering and stumbling over the bodies of others, tangled lifeless and wounded in the wire.	10
17	285	They had been fighting behind a breastwork of fallen bodies, those of both Cosians and defenders.	10
17	286	The Cosians seemed for a moment bewildered, but then, with a great cry, swarmed over the bodies in pursuit.	10
17	288	The bulk of the Cosians stopped at this wall of flames some forty feet in width.	10
17	294	The Cosians then within the wall, in the center, were much harder pressed.	10
17	298	There, on the east, I saw that the Cosians had gained yards, and that they were now beyond the wire.	10
17	300	More Cosians leapt from the bridge of a tower, down onto the bodies and wire, climbing over them, hurrying to join the fray.	10
17	394	That would not be done by Cosians.	10
17	441	Too, I thought I might buy some time for them by seeming to offer the Cosians an enviable prize, the capture of the wall commander.	10
17	445	There were bodies there, as elsewhere about the walkway, those of Cosians, those of defenders.	10
17	486	"Ho!" I called to the Cosians to the left and right, lifting my sword.	10
17	493	Doubtless we would seem prizes in diverse ways to the Cosians, the commander of the wall and a female who might hopefully, when unhooded, be found to have a face to match the excitements of her figure.	10
17	534	The Cosians were now leaving the central walkway, and hurrying to the stairwells, those to the east and west.	10
17	555	If you meet Cosians throw her to them.	10
17	649	I did not care to be trapped here, between the gate and the rubble in the corridor, when the Cosians entered.	10
17	658	I looked up and saw some four or five Cosians creep through the opening at the height of the artificial hill.	10
17	660	"It is dark here," said one of the Cosians.	10
17	665	The ten or twelve Cosians now through the gate crouched-down, suddenly, arrested, looking wildly about.	10
17	677	She had intended to use them to bargain for her life with Cosians, begging to purchase it from them, even at the frightful cost of Gorean bondage.	10
18	2	Beyond the piers, and beyond the wall of rafts, chained together, with which they had closed the harbor, the Cosians had their ships, five of them.	10
18	17	"There are Cosians on the interior walls, overlooking the landing," said a man.	10
18	34	"Some fled months ago," he said, "some even when it was learned the Cosians had landed at Brundisium, others when it was rumored they were marching on Ar's Station.	10
18	50	"It is said the Cosians did much butchery in the city".	10
18	91	Then the Cosians can approach only by water".	10
18	102	"There are Cosians on the wall!" he said.	10
18	112	"The people on the piers made it there earlier, before the Cosians came to the inner wall.	10
18	116	"I would choose to make matters less convenient for Cosians," I said.	10
18	120	"With Cosians?" smiled Aemilianus.	10
18	128	This action seemed to be greeted with derision from the Cosians.	10
18	205	He had hardly spoken when the interior gate, leading out to the landing, swung inward, and a stream of Cosians waiting within, a moment later, helmeted, with shields, thrusting with spears, slashing with swords, pressed out against the defenders.	10
18	223	Cosians feared then to lower themselves into the waiting blades, like steel teeth, waiting for them.	10
18	250	A glance about showed that the danger was at the gate where the Cosians, in their hundreds, were pressing out, swelling forth, onto the landing.	10
18	278	It was Lady Claudia, in the provocative rags that had been designed by the former Lady Publia, that she might hope to be of interest to Cosians.	10
18	287	Now that the wall was freed I saw more Cosians descending on ropes.	10
18	310	Some of the free women may have taken custody of a female slave in order to use her to distract Cosians, or to barter with them, perhaps thinking to prevail upon them to accept the slave as a substitute for themselves, thereby securing their own freedom.	10
18	312	Why should one not seize one if it is convenient to do so? Others may not have wanted the slaves to fall into the hands of the hated Cosians, simply to deprive them of this loot, or perhaps, more, to deny to them the inordinate rewards and pleasures which accrue to a male from the ownership of a fem...	10
18	323	Cosians pressed about.	10
18	330	The lines thinned to the sides of me, and before me, and the Cosians pressed in, yet more closely.	10
18	335	Some of the Cosians, many just coming forth from the citadel, not yet entered into the fighting, indeed, not being readily able to reach it, for their fellows, had turned aside to attend to the females there.	10
18	342	Again the Cosians hesitated.	10
18	343	"The women are being taken behind you," I cried to the Cosians, "taken by those who have not even nicked their steel!" "Forward!" cried a Cosian officer.	10
18	344	"Forward!" "You are losing slaves!" I cried to the Cosians.	10
18	347	Some of the Cosians in the rearward ranks turned about.	10
18	382	"You are losing slaves!" I called out, again, to the Cosians.	10
18	392	"The fellows who have not fought are advancing on them even now!" The Cosians wavered.	10
18	398	"Behind me! Back!" "There are less than two hundred left there now, lads," I called to the Cosians.	10
18	411	Cosians, mercenaries mostly, broke free from their rearward ranks and ran to the wall, to claim females.	10
18	426	The Cosians, regulars and mercenaries, responsive to the orders of their officer, advanced some yards onto the walkway.	10
18	465	"We were roused by a guard," said Marsias, "who was checking the walls for ruptures which might allow access to Cosians.	10
18	468	"It was our intention to come looking for you immediately, as you might well suppose," said Marsias, "to settle accounts, so to speak, but Cosians, as seems their wont these days, interfered.	10
18	476	"The Cosians, too, have seen them," I said.	10
18	494	The Cosians there must have taken at least four hundred women on the landing.	10
18	568	"The Cosians!" I cried.	10
18	569	Then, with shield and sword, with the ringing of metal, with shouts, with cries of war, the six of us, I, Marsias, the grizzled fellow, and the three who had come originally to the cell, struck by charging Cosians, almost swept back, struggled to hold the walkway.	10
19	7	Fourteen times did the Cosians assault us.	10
19	207	He had not taken more than five steps before a number of Cosians, who had been waiting on the landing, hurried onto the walkway.	10
19	226	"Stop!" I ordered the approaching Cosians.	10
19	239	I then stepped back, and faced the Cosians, some yards toward the landing.	10
19	251	A moment or so later a dozen or so Cosians crowded the charred end of the walkway.	10
20	53	"The Cosians will spend time in barrages of fire," said Aemilianus, "from the boats, from the rafts.	10
20	59	"When the Cosians ascend the piers themselves," continued Aemilianus, "we will meet them, with what men we still have, and make them pay for every board they cross.	10
20	93	"My word is sacred to me," said Surilius, "but so, too, are the terms of my word, and they require only that I do not permit you to fall, when you yourself could not avoid it, into the hands of Cosians.	10
20	130	"The Cosians on the rafts and boats are approaching," said another.	10
20	174	The Cosians that had been there fled before them.	10
20	177	Out in the harbor itself the small boats and rafts of Cosians which had been approaching to attack were now hurrying to the shore, to one side or another, to take shelter near the most convenient guard station.	10
20	203	Cosians attempting to climb to the piers there would encounter fresh, dangerous armed men, in hundreds.	10
20	386	The Cosians had not come to the piers.	10
21	185	"In the power of Cosians!" she said, suddenly, now sure of it.	10
21	188	"Spare me, noble Cosians!" She clasped her hands together piteously, holding them forth toward Calliodorus and Aemilianus.	10
21	205	"Even to Cosians?" he asked.	10
21	207	"Why should Cosians accept you as a slave?" he asked.	10
21	214	"Do you think that just any woman can make a satisfactory slave?" "I do not know," she said, "but I beg the opportunity to try!" "You would serve Cosians then?" he asked.	10
21	260	"To Cosians?" he asked.	10
21	330	"It is also believed that you carried much gold with you, in your purse, presumably, again, to improve your chances of persuading victorious Cosians to spare you, resources incidentally much beyond the reach of most women of Ar's Station, thus, again, supplying you with an advantage over them.	10
21	359	"And, too," she continued, "if conquering Cosians should have seen fit to take me for a simple, low-caste maid, I see no reason why the laws of Ar's Station should now be exercised against me.	10
21	360	What would be the point of that, to protect Cosians from a mistake which they never had the opportunity to make?" "You hoped by your mode of dress, and such," said Aemilianus, "to conceal that you were of a caste on which vengeances might be visited, and thus to improve your chances of survival".	10
21	382	"I thought if I were captured by Cosians, I would be more likely to be spared, if it was not cut".	10
21	399	"And only after it had been made clear that women who did not participate in the efforts of defense were to be lowered over the wall at noon, naked, to Cosians".	10
21	443	"Your behavior of this morning might be included," he said, "in which, before your compatriots, you in effect begged the collar of Cosians".	10
21	616	"You were eager to serve Cosians," he said.	10
21	659	On the piers, had Cosians swarmed over them, doing slaughter, and, where it pleased them, making slaves, her beauty, which was considerable, bared and submitted, might have found favor with conquerors.	10
21	759	"I determined then in the cell," I said, "to take action, not merely, of course, for her sake, but for mine as well, as I could not know for certain what you would eventually decide in my case, nor could I count on being released from a burning citadel by Cosians.	10
21	764	Had it not been for the timely arrival of our friend Calliodorus, and certain mysterious others, she might now be in the chains of Cosians rather than in those of Ar's Station.	10
21	1029	"There are many Cosians, envoys and such, in Port Cos".	10
21	1032	Both were of Ar's Station, and thus of the heritage and traditions of Ar, but they would come into the keeping of Cosians, mortal enemies of Ar, and thus of Ar's Station.	10
21	1358	"She served Cosians, and declared for them," I said to Calliodorus.	10
21	1359	"Do you think that might put her in good stead with Cosians, should she come into their keeping, as that is what seems to be in store for her, at least in the near future?" "In what way?" asked Calliodorus.	10
21	1365	Too, Cosians, I assure you, are not overly fond of traitresses.	10
21	1469	Too, that one had been a traitress to Ar's Station and the other had been eager to surrender to Cosians would not in any respect, when it was learned, diminish the effect.	10
24	93	I went back over various things in my mind, the Crooked Tarn, the camp of the Cosians, the trenches, the approach to the wall, my captivity, my escape, the fighting at Ar's Station, the escape from the piers.	10
24	206	"Supposedly, over two months ago, I, and my high officers, and the caste officials, and councils of the city, treasonously, and without a fight, surrendered Ar's Station to a delegation of Cosians.	10
24	220	Naturally Cosians are in close contact with those of Port Cos, whose support to them is important on the river.	10
24	326	"Although the Cosians outnumbered us ten to one, their numbers would be no match for what, I gather, is nearly the full might of Ar".	10
24	339	The fate of the Cosians in the north is a foregone conclusion".	10
24	385	"Ar will destroy the Cosians in the north, and then destroy them in the south," said Marcus.	10
24	406	"You, Publia," he said, "prepared well to surrender yourself to Cosians".	10
24	441	I will point out various Cosians in the crowd, for there will be several.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	277	Survivors of Ar's Station, which had been Ar's major bastion on the Vosk, including many women and children, had been rescued from the piers of the burning port by a fleet of unidentified ships, ships with which the Cosians in the north had not had the forces to deal.	10
1	290	Some Cosians tend to be fond of hot paga.	10
1	346	Young Marcus, with the consent of his commander, Aemilianus, formerly of Ar's Station, now amongst the refugees at Port Cos, had been given permission to track the movements of the Cosians in the north, and to convey this information to the major land forces of Ar, which were currently located at Ho...	10
1	350	If young Marcus, of whom I have grown fond, has a weakness, I would think it would be his moodiness, and his incredible hatred for Cosians, and all things Cosian.	10
1	360	To be sure, the Cosians had moved in an open, leisurely way, and even along the southern bank of the Vosk, rather than to the north.	10
1	361	This seemed madness, for surely the Cosians could be pinned against the river and slaughtered.	10
1	368	Also, of course, the Cosians were presumably moving toward either Brundisium, which had been the port of entry of their invasion fleet, or south to join Myron in the vicinity of Torcadino, where Dietrich of Tarnburg, the mercenary, lay at bay, like a larl in his den.	10
1	370	There were several thousand Cosians, and mercenaries, in our camp, but the forces of Ar, by repute, were in the neighborhood of some fifty thousand men, an incredible force for a Gorean community to maintain in the field.	10
3	467	"Ar's Station was bought by the Cosians, by bribery," said a man.	10
3	498	Such a line of march would not carry the army of Ar toward the Cosians, certainly not directly.	10
3	499	Perhaps they intended to cut the Cosians off from Brundisium.	10
5	56	"How many Cosians have you taken?" I asked.	10
6	15	"Cosians did this," exclaimed a man.	10
12	85	"Over Cosians?" I asked.	10
12	114	"Too, such markers could have been set up by Cosians".	10
12	116	"In the vicinity of such markers Cosians would be no more welcome than those of Ar".	10
12	154	It is for such a reason that her major land forces came north with the Cosians at Torcadino.	10
12	185	Cosians have orders not to fire upon it, to let it pass".	10
13	19	For days we had plunged deeper and deeper into the delta, in pursuit of Cosians.	10
13	21	It had, rightly or wrongly, become something of a symbol, a token of the Cosians, the pursued foe.	10
13	22	Even from a sober military point of view, of course, given the suppositions of the men of Ar, it was natural to associate the barge with the Cosians, conjecturing it to be, say, one of their transport craft or a vessel of their rear guard.	10
13	55	If fleeing Cosians came through the marsh, plunging toward us, it was his intent, I gathered, at least if it seemed prudent, to cut my throat.	10
13	114	"Where are the Cosians?" he asked me.	10
13	128	"Where are the Cosians?" he demanded.	10
13	190	"The Cosians, then," he said, "must still be in front of us".	10
13	238	"You are not dealing with Cosians," I said.	10
13	291	"They may have been Cosians," said a fellow.	10
13	293	"I do not think so," I said, "though I would suppose the Cosians have many friends, and many contacts, in the delta.	10
13	374	It is Cosians".	10
14	123	"Perhaps there are some Cosians in the delta," I granted him.	10
14	142	"The Cosians must meet us," he said, angrily.	10
16	42	"Do not underestimate the Cosians," I said.	10
16	60	"It is for such reasons," I said, "that I expect there will be fewer Cosians in the north".	10
17	29	"Cosians were waiting for us," he gasped.	10
17	40	It was now clear, of course, given the references to Cosians, tharlarion, sleen and such, that this disaster was not that of the left flank, which had been struck by rencers, but a defeat suffered in the south, by the units attempting to remove themselves there from the delta.	10
17	41	It was no wonder the Cosians had been waiting for them.	10
17	49	I supposed the Cosians would have taken prisoners.	10
17	51	I wondered if the Cosians would have had chains enough, or cages enough, for the prisoners, assuming they elected to accept them.	10
18	303	Tarn scouts and patrols of Cosians, in the vicinity of the delta's coasts, might be more troublesome.	10
19	1716	"I could, of course, turn you over to Cosians," I said.	10
24	73	"It may have been that Cosians conducted it," I said, "and then deserted it, but I think it more likely it was merely a derelict to begin with, perhaps abandoned months ago, drifting with the currents".	10
28	115	"The Cosians say the laws of Cos march with the spears of Cos," said a fellow.	10
28	193	Were it not for rencers and Cosians, patrols, and such, you might remain here indefinitely.	10
28	201	"Would it not be simpler and less dangerous for me to simply report your position to rencers or Cosians? Should you not have been attacked already?" "But perhaps they are not yet in position to do so, and you are with us to track us, to mark our location and facilitate their attack".	10
28	509	"Cosians will not attempt to interpose themselves?" I asked.	10
28	518	"You do not think the Cosians will attempt to prevent Saphronicus from reaching Ar?" "No," he said.	10
28	524	"It was for that reason that I was entrusted with the command of the vanguard," he said, "to be the first to make contact with the retreating Cosians".	10
29	12	Once it had been a patrol of Cosians, on narrow flatboats.	10
29	14	It was fortunate for the patrol of Cosians that they had not detected us, for otherwise they would not have returned to their base.	10
30	15	This should bring us out well east of Brundisium and well west of Ven, an area which I expected would no longer be regarded by the Cosians as worthy of particular vigilance.	10
31	111	"We pursued Cosians!" said a man.	10
31	112	"There are few Cosians in the delta," said the lad.	10
31	121	"Our friends, the Cosians, warned us," he said.	10
31	232	"Beware of Cosians," he said.	10
32	68	We had moved southwest for two days after the visit of the young rencer to our camp, and had then adjusted our trek to the southeast, and then to the south, to reach the point at which I wished to exit from the delta, a point far enough from both Brundisium, on the coast, and Ven, on the south bank ...	10
32	69	Presumably the Cosians would not expect many of Ar to leave the delta in this area, particularly this late in summer.	10
32	73	The young rencer had warned me, however, I recalled, that the edges of the delta were infested by Cosians and their hirelings.	10
32	145	If anything, I would have expected Cosians to be pursuing some poor fugitive from Ar, one trying to escape the delta.	10
32	146	Perhaps they were actually Cosians, or mercenaries, dressed to lure in fellows of Ar, and the fellow, himself, might be of Ar, in the uniform of a Cosian.	10
32	153	To be sure, they might be all Cosians, or mercenaries, enacting some charade to put us off our guard.	10
32	158	They were then, I gathered, not likely, any of them, really, to be Cosians or mercenaries.	10
32	211	"Cosians may be about".	10
32	247	"If it pleases them," he said, "but, too, as it might please them, they trap us, surprise us, surround us, catch us, take us, almost with impunity, to strip us and chain us, and sell us as slaves to Cosians".	10
32	260	The Cosians, it seems, wanted some uniforms, doubtless for purposes of subterfuge or infiltration.	10
32	298	"But not safe from Cosians," said Plenius.	10
34	37	"If Cosians should happen by, they will find nothing here to suggest that fate which we have seen fit to impose upon these fellows.	10
36	7	"Probably mostly those of the Cosians' expeditionary force in the north," I said, "that with which we traveled, south of the Vosk.	10
40	115	"Over the very heads of Cosians!" said a man.	10
43	28	I am not inclined to hold converse with Cosians".	10
48	64	It is perhaps then appropriate that she might be disposed of among Cosians".	10
48	66	As she had served Cosians, it seemed appropriate that her beauty and service now, abjectly, and in the dimensions of the mere female slave, should be totally at their disposal.	10

1	316	Further, though there was much talk in the city of resistance, of the traditions of Ar, of her Home Stone, and such, I did not think that the people of Ar, stunned and confused by the apparently inexplicable succession of recent disasters, had the will to resist the Cosians.	10
2	67	On the supposition that the latter action took priority the might of Ar in the north entered the delta in pursuit of the Cosians, in which shifting, trackless morass column after column was lost or decimated.	10
2	104	Given the anger in Ar at Ar's Station, and the fact that the Home Stone of Ar's Station had been sent to Ar, supposedly, according to the rumors, not for safekeeping, given the imminent danger in the city, but in a gesture of defiance and repudiation, attendant upon the supposed acceptance of a new ...	10

5	84	"Cosians!" he said.	10
5	105	We would be as likely to be hit, I supposed, as Cosians.	10
5	126	Out there, somewhere, were Cosians.	10
6	139	"Are the Cosians numerous?" asked a man.	10
6	145	"Perhaps we can treat with the Cosians," said another.	10
6	197	"We must prove our desire for peace to the Cosians".	10
7	107	No longer now, the bars now quiet, did I even hear the drums and trumpets of the approaching Cosians.	10

7	215	"Myron, polemarkos of Cos!" I saw nothing for a time but the crowd, the platform, the people on the platform, and Cosians, for several yards to the right, standard bearers, some even bearing the standards of mercenary companies, probably not in the march, such as that of Raymond Rive-du-Bois, musici...	10

7	404	But, in a few Ehn, with the passage of the Cosians south on the avenue, the crowd melted away from us.	10
7	406	We could trace the withdrawal of the Cosians by the sounds of the crowd, ever farther away.	10
7	416	Surely she was of more use to the party of treachery, in which she doubtless stood high, and to the Cosians, on the throne of Ar than as merely another woman, naked and in chains, gracing a conqueror's triumph.	10
8	323	Putting Cosians in the uniforms of guardsmen of Ar, of course, did suggest that they were, at least in one sense or another, guardsmen of Ar.	10
8	363	"Cosians," he said.	10
9	60	Regular guardsmen of Ar were, as I have suggested, fellows of Ar under Cosian command, or, often, Cosians, in the uniform of Ar.	10
9	347	The Cosians, as many conquerors, made a point of enlisting class jealousies in their cause, utilizing them to secure their ends, for example, the replacement of a given aristocracy, or elite, with one of their own, preferably in as covert a fashion as is possible.	10
9	375	Would the Hinrabian be suitable, did they think, as a conciliatory offering, or a partial reparation payment, to the offended Cosians? Would she be acceptable? Would she be adequate? Or would such an offering insult them, or offend them, in its lack of worth, in its paltriness? I smiled.	10
9	567	Another woman, similarly, later, whom Talena seemed prepared to dismiss, she reconsidered and selected, apparently at the request or suggestion of one of the Cosians on the dais.	10
9	569	Perhaps he regarded her as the sort whom Cosians would enjoy having serve their banquets, moving among the tables, bearing platters of viands, or pouring wine, or such, or perhaps merely lying on their bellies or backs beside their small tables at such banquets, ready, too, to serve.	10
9	646	I did not think, at any rate, that the Cosians would send cage wagons for them in full daylight to the Plaza of Tarns, in the view of a crowd.	10
10	209	"You are "Cosians"?" I said to them.	10
10	212	These were called "Cosians".	10
10	222	"You are "Cosians"?" I asked.	10

13	214	"I have heard that there are fights among youths in Ar," he said, "that the gangs of youths called 'Cosians' are now set upon by others, who speak of themselves by eccentric names, such as 'The Ubars,' 'The Larls,' and such".	10
13	216	"And, too, interestingly," he said, "it seems that some of those lads who were "Cosians" now wander about under quite different colors, now affecting beards and hair styles reminiscent of those once associated with veterans, hirsute and shabby, returned from the delta".	10
13	227	Was it for this that they had done their duty, was it for this that they had faced the delta, the tracklessness, the tharlarion, the insects, the hunger, the arrows of rencers, the blades of Cos? "Some of these lads, former "Cosians" and others," I said, "are apparently little better, still, than va...	10

14	697	"You spoke," I said to a man, "of a veteran who was to have been taken in for questioning, who drew forth a concealed weapon, who slew two Cosians, and disappeared".	10
15	14	The guards, I think, Cosians, were not certain how to respond to the demonstration.	10
16	157	To be sure, such understandings were surely not new to the Cosians in Ar, nor to many of the more reflective in Ar herself.	10
16	257	"You see what the Cosians here must now do, do you not?" I asked.	10
19	581	"But apparently that is more difficult now, with the Cosians in power.	10

19	416	Later, as you know, the gates of Ar were opened to the Cosians and their mercenary allies, again by insufferable treason in high places, under delusory pretenses of friendship and alliance".	10
19	445	"Cosians themselves could hold the city," said Arconious.	10
19	487	Cosians would presumably be less suspicious if some tarns remained in the loft.	10
25	101	The Cosians, it seemed, had not anticipated that there would be intense, competitive bidding on so many girls.	10
25	102	But the buyers, clearly, had a greater interest in several of the items marketed than the Cosians, in effect, wholesalers, had anticipated.	10
25	273	"Cosians?" asked Ellen.	10

27	1182	"It is interesting," said the spokesman, "that out of the hundreds of wagons leaving the festival camp at Brundisium, and days later, in the vastness of these grasslands, the Cosians managed to locate you".	10
27	1539	"And it seems," said Selius Arconious, "that as you may have followed us with such in mind, so, too, with such in mind, have the Cosians followed you".	10
27	1575	"The Cosians must be close now," said Fel Doron, straightening up.	10
27	1679	More Cosians emerged from the grass, some with bows, about the camp.	10
27	1688	Perhaps the Cosians had given them a wide berth.	10
27	1714	The Cosians, thought Ellen, do not know what to make of them.	10

27	1840	The Cosians had some twenty soldiers at the wagon.	10
27	2598	His anger, then, she understood, was not directed against her, but against the Cosians, who had made use of her without his acquiescence.	10
