On my hands and knees, miserable, in the hot sand, the rope on my neck, I looked about the training pit, at the rack of whips and ropes, the sleen tethers, the cages, the wooden barrier about the training area, and then, on my hands and knees, made my way through the sand and out of the training are... |

"This rope is rough and coarse," said Ladletender, fingering the rope collar. |
10 |
| 9 | 1160 |
In a short time Melina returned and untied me from the post, and, to my surprise, removed the long rope, though not the rope collar, from my neck. |
10 |
| 27 | 752 |
The man with the rope entered the circle and loosed the rope from his belt. |
10 |
| 3 | 485 |
But I suspected, and truly, that the mightiest bond I wore was not the strict, confining loops on my wrists or belly but the newly incised brand on my body; later, I suspected, even if coils of rope and heavy chains might be heaped upon me, or I should be confined in cells or kennels, the most compl... |

My master, with a spear and a loop of rope, under the torchlight, the torch held by one of his men, opened a passage in the thorn bush. |
10 |
| 4 | 996 |
I remained kneeling, shuddering, as he turned from me and reclosed, with the spear and rope, the corridor in the thorn brush. |
10 |
| 4 | 1044 |
My master had then extricated me from my cruel prison and, with spear and rope, opened a path in the brush, through which I might, did I choose, take flight. |
10 |
| 5 | 648 |
Thongs had been used, not rope; the knots, simple and efficient, had been made by a warrior. |
10 |
| 7 | 426 |
Thurnus had purchased her in Ar and brought her on a rope behind his wagon to Tabuk's Ford. |
10 |
| 7 | 432 |
About her throat, looped twice, knotted, was a length of coarse rope. |
10 |
| 7 | 433 |
I looked at the rope. |
10 |
| 7 | 584 |
The slave girl who wore the rope of Thurnus on her throat as a collar leaned back against the man of my master. |
10 |
| 7 | 693 |
I did not want a rope put on my throat. |
10 |
| 7 | 772 |
The long end of the rope which bound her ankles trailed her over his shoulder. |
10 |
| 7 | 773 |
Her captor took the end of the rope from the lad who had bound her and, holding it about a foot from her fastened ankles, pulled her feet some six inches into the air. |
10 |
| 7 | 777 |
She rolled onto her back, her tied feet now held about a foot off the ground by the rope. |
10 |
| 7 | 832 |
There was a rope on one of her wrists. |
10 |
| 7 | 833 |
It was a wrist tether rope, knotted about her right wrist, with a handle loop, about a foot long, by which she might be led. |
10 |
| 7 | 837 |
"I was first to put her to the floor and get my rope on her," said the other. |
10 |

"Back," called Thurnus, coming to the sleen and putting a rope on its neck, dragging it away from the cage. |
10 |
| 8 | 20 |
He thrust his head near the large, brown snout, cooing and clicking, his hands in the rope on its throat. |
10 |
| 8 | 201 |
She wore a short slave tunic, white, of the wool of the Hurt, and a rope collar. |
10 |
| 8 | 232 |
I felt a length of sleen rope tied on my neck. |
10 |
| 8 | 233 |
The other end of the rope was looped several times and the loops loosely knotted about a bar of the sleen cage. |
10 |
| 8 | 275 |
I went to my hands and knees, and he unknotted the loops of sleen rope from the bar of the cage, and threw it loose beside me, in the sand, whence it rose to the bond on my neck. |
10 |
| 8 | 277 |
I looked up at him, the rope on my neck. |
10 |
| 8 | 290 |
I had seen them about, large, strapping girls, probably of the peasants, doubtless purchased for the performance of hard labor, in their rough, white tunics, with their rope collars. |
10 |
| 8 | 309 |
I looked up, miserable, in the dust, the rope hanging from my neck. |
10 |
| 8 | 322 |
Dragging the rope on my neck, on my hands and knees, through the dust of the hot, sunny street, I crawled past them. |
10 |
| 8 | 336 |
Clitus Vitellius took the rope from the ground, which hung from my throat. |
10 |
| 8 | 337 |
He held the rope. |
10 |
| 8 | 341 |
He held the rope which was on my neck. |
10 |
| 8 | 344 |
He put his foot on the rope, pressing it to the ground. |
10 |
| 8 | 345 |
Then, beneath his foot, he drew the rope to him. |
10 |
| 8 | 349 |
Then he threw the rope to the ground and turned away from me. |
10 |
| 9 | 100 |
"You wear the rope of a peasant". |
10 |
| 9 | 138 |
On my throat I wore a rope collar. |
10 |
| 9 | 347 |
She fingered the rope collar on her throat. |
10 |
| 9 | 557 |
I moved my finger inside the rope collar, moving it out a bit from my neck, wiping sweat and dirt from under it. |
10 |
| 9 | 558 |
The rope scratched my neck, but I must wear it. |
10 |
| 9 | 770 |
She looked at me, and then she went up the stairs into her hut, and, soon, returned, with a coil of rope. |
10 |
| 9 | 774 |
The rest of the rope, depending from the piling, she let fall to the dirt. |
10 |
| 9 | 777 |
Because of the rope on my neck I could not stand at the piling. |
10 |
| 9 | 815 |
Lastly, there was a rope on my neck, long, a tether. |
10 |
| 9 | 817 |
Such a rope might easily be looped on the back of a wagon, and I would follow, naked, barefoot, behind the wagon, in the dust. |
10 |
| 9 | 946 |
I held tightly to the post, as commanded, that the rope collar I wore, fastened to the piling, would not pull against my throat. |
10 |
| 9 | 1048 |
Ladletender touched my neck, and put his finger inside the rope collar, and pulled it out a bit from my neck. |
10 |
| 9 | 1049 |
"You wear a rope collar," he said. |
10 |
| 9 | 1054 |
To be sure, the rope collar was unpleasant, and for that reason I did not like it, but, on the other hand, I, a slave, was naturally desperately eager to please Thurnus, who was my master. |
10 |
| 9 | 1099 |
I had worn only a rope collar, but yet it seemed to me that it, even in its coarseness, made me more beautiful, more exciting. |
10 |
| 9 | 1104 |
I dared not dream what my responsiveness would have been had the collar been not of rope, which I might cut or untie, but of true steel, in which I would be helplessly locked. |
10 |
| 9 | 1248 |
The rope collar clung and scratched about my throat. |
10 |
| 9 | 1268 |
He stood a few feet from me, a coil of rope in his hand. |
10 |
| 9 | 1277 |
He, too, carried rope. |
10 |
| 9 | 1282 |
One of them carried, too, a coil of rope. |
10 |
| 9 | 1315 |
The ropes on my wrists and ankles, serving as leashes, were cut from the coils of rope brought to the field. |
10 |
| 9 | 1352 |
He swung the coil of rope which he carried, whiplike, easily in his hand. |
10 |
| 9 | 1353 |
Behind me there was another lad, with such a coil of rope. |
10 |
| 9 | 1367 |
Suddenly the rope, coiled, held by the boy behind me, hissed and cut into the back of my thighs. |
10 |
| 9 | 1369 |
At the same time Bran Loort himself struck down at me with the rope he carried, striking me across the shoulder and neck. |
10 |
| 9 | 1409 |
There they held my wrists about a tree and, striking many times, put me under rope-discipline. |
10 |
| 9 | 1410 |
Held against the tree, feeling its bark with the side of my cheek, weeping, shuddering under the blows of the coiled rope, I wondered what I had done to them that they should be so cruel to me. |
10 |
| 9 | 1412 |
My ankles, by the rope leashes tied on them, held by two boys, were pulled widely apart. |
10 |
| 9 | 1426 |
A rope, knotted, ran from my neck to his hand. |
10 |
| 9 | 1428 |
I was cold, and my body ached, from the rope beatings and abuse to which it had been subjected. |
10 |
| 9 | 1438 |
"See what I have for you!" My head jerked as Bran Loort, emphasizing his words, drew on the rope tied on my neck. |
10 |
| 9 | 1449 |
Bran Loort stood forward, his staff in his left hand, my neck rope in his right. |
10 |
| 9 | 1457 |
My back and legs were covered with welts from the rope lashings I had been given. |
10 |
| 9 | 1462 |
He looked very splendid, proud and strong, a girl's neck rope in his hand, she, proof of his manhood, at his feet. |
10 |
| 9 | 1485 |
He took up the slack in the neck rope, coiling it, holding my head a foot from his thigh. |
10 |
| 9 | 1492 |
The rope, Bran Loort's fist in it, at my neck, the knot under the left side of my jaw, pulled my head up. |
10 |
| 9 | 1500 |
Swiftly Bran Loort then discarded the rope and, with his foot, thrust me to one side. |
10 |
| 9 | 1539 |
I lay in the dirt, my hands bound behind my back, the rope on my neck, watching. |
10 |
| 9 | 1548 |
It had been the hot, fierce, innocent sport of strong young men, powerful and excited, who held brief-tunicked, branded girls, in rope collars, in their arms, nothing more. |
10 |
| 9 | 1642 |
He turned me about and untied my wrists, and unknotted the rope from my neck, throwing it away. |
10 |
| 9 | 1643 |
I stood in my brand and rope collar before him. |
10 |
| 9 | 1787 |
I saw no rope collar on her throat. |
10 |
| 9 | 2061 |
"Have rope brought, and collar me, Thurnus," she said. |
10 |
| 9 | 2063 |
"Bring rope," said Thurnus. |
10 |
| 9 | 2064 |
Rope was brought. |
10 |
| 9 | 2065 |

10 |
