8 152 Treve's other needs seemed to be satisfied much in the same way as her agricultural ones, for her raiders were known from the borders of the Fair of En'Kara, in the very shadow of the Sardar, to the delta of the Vosk and the islands beyond, such as Tyros and Cos.

10 455 The important point, however, in the circumstances was that Kamras had proposed the sword as the weapon of his encounter with Kamchak, and poor Kamchak was almost certain to be as unfamiliar with the sword as you or I would be with any of the more unusual weapons of Gor, say, the whip knife of Port ...

19 16 He had been a member of the staff of Caprus, the agent of Priest-Kings, until the latter had disappeared, presumably because he had displeased Cernus; Philemon of Tyros had then assumed Caprus' position and duties.

10 127 But not in over a hundred years had the united fleets of Cos and Tyros challenged Port Kar, and at that time, because of storms, they had been scattered and beaten off.

10
10 128 As I have mentioned, the warfare between Cos and Tyros and Port Kar had been, for years, small-scale, seldom involving more than a few dozen galleys on a side.

10
10 183 Why, I asked myself, should Cos and Tyros consider bringing their fleets against Port Kar? What had changed? But then I recalled that nothing had changed.

10
10 185 Doubtless there were similar rumors, raising their small stirs, in the councils of Cos and Tyros.

10 274 The fighting ship, incidentally, the long ship, the ram-ship, has never been, to my knowledge, in Port Kar, or Cos, or Tyros, or elsewhere on Gor, rowed by slaves; the Gorean fighting ship always has free men at the oars.
Details
10
10 304 But why should Cos and Tyros come against Port Kar at this time? But it was a rumor, I reminded myself again, forcibly, a rumor, a baseless rumor.
Details
10
11 60 "There are no ships from Cos or Tyros in the harbor," said one of the captains standing near me.

11 237 "None have spoken of Cos and Tyros," he said.

10
11 239 I had expected, that very day, or this night, to receive word that the fleets of Cos and Tyros were approaching.
Details
10
11 244 "Sevarius!" "Are not Cos and Tyros to attack?" I demanded.
Details
10
11 274 "Have Cos and Tyros been implicated?" he asked.
Details
10
11 278 "I suspect Cos and Tyros," he said, gazing at me, evenly.
Details
10
11 422 "I suspect," Samos was saying, "that Cos and Tyros are implicated in the attempted coup of the House of Sevarius".
Details
10
11 426 Surely it did not seem likely that Sevarius would have moved if he had not been assured, at some point, of the support of the power of Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
11 427 "Myself," Samos went on, "I am weary of war with Cos and Tyros".
Details
10
11 431 One captain, leaning back in his curule chair, said, "There has always been war between Port Kar, and Cos and Tyros".
Details
10
11 448 "It is my proposal," said Samos, "that the council approach Cos and Tyros, offering terms of peace".
Details
10
11 457 And what better gesture than this mission of peace to the hereditary enemies Cos and Tyros? If the burden of maintaining the conflict were clearly on them, it was possible that allies of theirs might be influenced to diminish or, perhaps, withdraw their support, or, perhaps, pledge it even to Port K...
Details
10
11 459 Surely these might then be dissuaded from becoming allies of Cos and Tyros, and perhaps might be inclined to offer their services to Port Kar? At the very least, the ships of Port Kar might, in such a situation, become suddenly welcome in ports that had hitherto been closed to them.
Details
10
11 471 "And," I asked, "do we abide by their acceptance? Would there then be truly peace between Port Kar, and Cos and Tyros?" "That," smiled Samos, "may always be taken under consideration at a future meeting of the council".
Details
10
11 473 "The time is opportune," said Samos, "to offer peace to Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
11 475 For another, I have learned from spies that this very week the Ubar of Tyros visits Cos".
Details
10
11 477 It did not bode well for Port Kar that the Ubar of Tyros should voyage to Cos.
Details
10
11 486 I wondered what the interests of Samos in Cos and Tyros might be.
Details
10
11 489 "The fleets of Cos and Tyros," he said, "have not yet gathered".
Details
10
11 499 "Since my interests are substantially in commerce I, for one, would welcome peace with Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
11 502 Such a peace would, I note, open the ports of Tyros and Cos, and their allies and others, to my ships, and, of course, to yours.
Details
10
11 505 "If an offer of peace is to be made to Cos and Tyros," I said, "it is my hope that it would be genuine".
Details
10
11 528 "We will need one to carry the offer of peace to Cos, where he may now find joint audience with the Ubars of both Cos and Tyros," said Samos.
Details
10
11 540 "And," Samos went on, "it should preferably be one who is not well known to Cos and Tyros, one who has not angered them, nor proven himself to them a blood enemy upon gleaming Thassa".
Details
10
11 547 Let it be he who carries peace on behalf of the council to Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
11 553 "To send a captain is equivalent to sentencing him to the bench of a slave on the round ships of Cos or Tyros".
Details
10
11 560 "I am, of course, highly honored," I began, "that noble Samos should think of me, that he should nominate me, doubtless the lowliest of the captains here assembled, for a post of such distinction, that of bearing the peace of Port Kar to her hereditary enemies Cos and Tyros".
Details
10
11 563 "It only seems to me," said I, "that so single an honor, and a role so weighty, ought to be reserved for one more august than I, indeed, for he who is most prominent among us, one who could truly negotiate on equal footing with the Ubars of powers so mighty as those of Cos and Tyros".
Details
10
11 573 "Antisthenes is wise," I said, "and understands the risks involved, but many of the words Samos has addressed to us seem to me sound and true, and chief among them his assertion that it should be a captain who conducts this mission, for how else could we so easily prove the seriousness of our intent...
Details
10
11 592 If Cos and Tyros could be convinced to make peace, and it could be held, my fortunes would considerably increase.
Details
10
11 596 I would not go as a fool to Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
12 2 I was waiting for my ships, and those of the arsenal, to be made ready for my trip, my mission of peace, to Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
13 9 I would go before the thrones of the Ubars of Cos and Tyros alone.
Details
10
13 12 I put to them, the Ubars of Cos and Tyros, as well as I could, the proposals of the Council of Captains of Port Kar, that there would be concord, and doubtless an opening of commerce, between the two Ubarates and the maligned city in the Vosk's delta, my own Port Kar.
Details
10
13 13 As I spoke, the Ubar of Cos, Lurius of Jad, and the Ubar of Tyros, Chenbar of Kasra, the Sea Sleen, who was visiting Lurius on matters of state, sat unspeaking upon their thrones.
Details
10
13 16 Kasra is the capitol of Tyros; its only other major city is Tentium.
Details
10
13 24 Chenbar of Kasra, Ubar of Tyros, on the other hand, was a lean, large-eyed man, with nervous hands.
Details
10
13 26 Tyros, I told myself, has an efficient, and dangerous Ubar.
Details
10
13 108 "Forgive me," I said, "but the Ubara of Tyros, so beautiful are our women, is worthy only to be the least of the Kettle Slaves in the meanest of the dwellings of Port Kar".
Details
10
13 154 "As the agent of Cos and Tyros," I said.
Details
10
13 186 It will not be a great deal, but that way you can feel that you have not been left out, that you have done your small bit to augment the glories of Cos and Tyros".
Details
10
13 188 "I trust, too," said Chenbar, "that you will not be the last of the captains of Port Kar to pull an oar on the round ships of Cos or Tyros".
Details
10
13 204 "When," I asked, "High Lady, will you drink the wine of the Free Companionship with Lurius, noble Ubar of Cos?" "I shall return first to Tyros," she said, "where I shall be made ready.
Details
10
13 464 Doubtless you can give her the attention she will need either in Cos or Tyros".
Details
10
13 483 "I carried peace to Cos and Tyros," I said, "and for this I was awarded the chains of a slave in the galleys".
Details
10
13 484 "When," asked Tab, "do we sail against the ships of Cos and Tyros?" I laughed.
Details
10
13 485 "Surely now," laughed he, "Cos and Tyros have injured you".
Details
10
13 486 "Yes," said I, "they have, and now we may sail against them!" There were cheers from the men about, who felt that too long had the ships of Bosk surrendered the seas to those of Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
13 489 "Then let Cos and Tyros beware!" roared Thurnock.
Details
10
13 512 By the end of the second month the flag of Bosk, carried by one ship or another, was known from Ianda to Torvaldsland, and from the delta of the Vosk to the throne rooms of Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
13 516 My round ships, as much as possible, I engaged in commerce, usually acting on the advice of Luma, the slave girl, my chief accountant; the ram-ships I sent against Cos and Tyros, usually in twos and threes; I myself commonly commanded a fleet of five ram-ships, and spent much time searching the seas...
Details
10
13 517 But in all this time I had not forgotten the treasure fleet which was due to sail from Tyros to Cos, bearing precious metals and jewels for her coffers, and a lovely lady, Vivina, to grace the couch of her Ubar.
Details
10
13 518 I put spies in Tyros and Cos, and in many of the other ports of Thassa.
Details
10
14 77 The principal alternatives, under these conditions, open to the men of Cos and Tyros would then seem to be, first, to use free oarsmen, which was not, however, traditional on round ships, or, second, to increase the ram-ship escort for round ships.
Details
10
14 78 It was this latter alternative, rather expensive, which the men of Cos and Tyros had apparently, almost invariably, selected.
Details
10
14 80 The prices of goods, I might note, carried on ships of Cos and Tyros and her allies, because of the need of paying for additional escort, had risen considerably.
Details
10
14 83 Because of my practices in connection with round ships, I did not expect Cos and Tyros to enter them seriously into any naval engagement with my fleet.
Details
10
14 154 Doubtless in Cos and Tyros there was a high price indeed on my head.
Details
10
14 262 "Oar-master," said I, "we have an appointment with the treasure fleet of Cos and Tyros".
Details
10
14 272 "Helmsmen," said I, "take your course now for the treasure fleet of Cos and Tyros".
Details
10
14 334 "I am Rencius Ho-Bar," said he, "of Telnus, Admiral of the Treasure Fleet of Cos and Tyros".
Details
10
14 339 He presented a folio-sized book, bound with golden cord and sealed with wax, bearing the impress of the Ubar of Tyros, Chenbar.
Details
10
14 377 "I am Vivina," said she, "of the city of Kasra of Tyros".
Details
10
15 35 Had there ever been triumph such as this in Port Kar? I brought with me fifty-nine ships: the flagship of the treasure fleet, Vivina bound at its prow, the Dorna, the other twenty-nine ships which had composed my original fleet, and, as prizes, laden with wealth which might have been the ransom of c...
Details
10
15 124 Lastly, the forces of Henrius Sevarius, under the regency of Claudius, once of Tyros, had been driven by the Council forces from all their holdings, save one, a huge fortress, its walls extending into the Tamber itself, sheltering the some two dozen ships left him.
Details
10
15 442 He lifted, heavily, to the dais on which my chair and table sat a heavy leather sack filled with golden tarn disks of double weight, of Cos and Tyros, of Ar and Port Kar, even of distant Thentis and remote Turia, far to the south.
Details
10
15 445 "Send for the slave girl from Tyros!" I called.
Details
10
15 513 There were few in Port Kar who would not be eager to patronize such an establishment, that they might be served by the high-born beauties of Tyros.
Details
10
15 589 Raised as she had been, in the sequestered quarters of high-born women in the palace of Tyros in Kasra, I supposed it was perhaps the first time that the lips of a man had touched hers.
Details
10
15 609 How rich a joke it was, to have enslaved the girl who would have been Ubara of Cos, to have put her to work in my kitchens, to have given the use of her to a mere slave boy! This story would soon be told in all the ports of Thassa and all the cities of Gor! How shamed would be Tyros and Cos, enemies...
Details
10
15 610 I stood and threw about me showers of the tarn disks of Ar, of Tyros, of Cos, Thentis, Turia and Port Kar!.
Details
10
16 140 "The joint fleets of Cos and Tyros are but hours from us!" "Outfit my ships," I said.
Details
10
16 179 What could one say to them? If the joint fleets of Cos and Tyros were indeed almost upon us, there was little to do but flee, or fight.
Details
10
16 182 "What would be your estimate of the size of the fleet of Cos and Tyros," I asked Tab.
Details
10
16 188 The fleet would consist, according to my information, of forty-two hundred ships, twenty-five hundred from Cos and seventeen hundred from Tyros.
Details
10
16 195 The council and I had apparently miscalculated the damage done by the capture of the treasure fleet to the war plans of Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
16 202 In this bold stroke I saw not the hand of Lurius, Ubar of Cos, but of the brilliant Chenbar of Kasra, Ubar of Tyros, the Sea Sleen.
Details
10
16 221 The officer had proposed, as clearly as one might, that the city be abandoned to the flames, and to the ravaging seamen of Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
16 284 I had no hopes that Port Kar could muster enough ships to fend off the joint fleet of Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
17 5 The nearest estimations I could make were that we were bringing, at the time of the engagement, in the neighborhood of twenty-five hundred ships, fourteen hundred of them only round ships, against the joint fleet of Cos and Tyros, of some forty-two hundred ships, all tarn ships, now approaching from...
Details
10
17 16 None of the ships of the Ubars Eteocles or Sullius Maximus had been pledged to the fleet, nor, of course, none of those of Henrius Sevarius, under the command of his regent, Claudius, once of Tyros.
Details
10
17 17 Had it not been for the finding of the Home Stone of Port Kar, if one may so speak, I doubt that we could have brought more than four or five hundred ships against Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
17 41 Each of my fifty sets of attacking tarn ships would be followed, by some half of an Ahn, by another pair of my tarn ships, which, hopefully, would be able to take a number of these come-about ships of Cos and Tyros from the rear.
Details
10
17 45 By that time the ships of Cos and Tyros would have concentrated in their numbers and shortened their lines.
Details
10
17 57 It was my hope that by the time they arrived at the engagement the fleet of Cos and Tyros, responding to my first two waves, would have shortened their lines and concentrated their ships.
Details
10
17 59 Further, when the ships of Cos and Tyros turned upon these round ships I did not think they would find them common foes.
Details
10
17 61 Only slaves whose origin was of Cos or Tyros, or their allies, had been taken from the ships and left behind, chained in the warehouses of Port Kar.
Details
10
17 72 And if the tarn ships of Cos and Tyros should use their rams, we hoped that, in the moments it would take to disengage the ram, the grappling irons and the grappling bridges might be brought into play.
Details
10
17 78 Accordingly I hoped the tarn ships of Cos and Tyros, seeing the sails, would think their new enemies were single-masted round ships, of which there are some types, and either misjudge their speeds or rush on them unwarily, finding out, too late, that they were plunging headlong toward swift, maneuve...
Details
10
17 82 The admiral of Cos and Tyros, Chenbar I supposed, could not know the exact numbers and disposition of our forces.
Details
10
17 85 The flanking attack, of course, was mounted as late as it was because, until the fleet of Cos and Tyros had shortened their lines and concentrated their ships, to meet our earlier moves, it would have been impractical.
Details
10
17 117 "Let Cos and Tyros fear her as well," said I.
Details
10
17 139 The ships of my first wave had now struck the lines of the fleet of Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
17 141 Behind them, scattered across the cold waters of Thassa, I could see the pairs of the second wave proceeding, swiftly gliding, oars dipping, toward the long lines of yellow and purple sails in the distance, yellow for Tyros, purple for Cos.
Details
10
17 162 She had struck the line of Cos and Tyros, had torn her way through, and was now coming about, to strike again.
Details
10
17 164 I saw two of the tarn ships of Cos and Tyros, one heeled over in the water, the other slipping stern first beneath the waves.
Details
10
17 171 I saw the lines of Cos and Tyros shortening, compressing their formations to bring more ships into play at given points.
Details
10
17 194 I had watched my first wave break in dozens of places the long lines of Cos and Tyros, and had seen the ships of the great fleet turn to face them, and had witnessed their vulnerability to the slender second wave of ships, each wreaking destruction beyond what might be expected of their sizes and we...
Details
10
17 195 Then, as the lines of Cos and Tyros had closed and deepened, to match formations with my task forces, the great encircling line of round ships had cast its net about them.
Details
10
17 222 I saw now that the tarn ships of Cos and Tyros were, where possible, not engaging the round ships, but concentrating their superior numbers on my tarn ships.
Details
10
17 365 In the turmoil below, primarily of tarn ships locked in battle, and the great round ships trying to close with enemy tarn ships, I saw, protected by ten tarn ships on each side, and ten before and ten behind, the flagship of Cos and Tyros.
Details
10
17 366 It was a great ship, painted in the yellow of Tyros, with more than two hundred oarsmen.

17 381 And then, their fighters disembarked, the birds with their riders swept away, up into the black, vicious sleeting sky, to light the oily rags, one by one, in the clay flasks of tharlarion oil and hurl them, from the heights of the sky, down onto the decks of ships of Cos and Tyros.

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
6 170 The bad blood between Tyros and Ar had primarily to do with Tyros' financings of Vosk pirates, to harry river shipping and the northern borders of Ar.
Details
10
6 177 Tyros' financing of Vosk pirates, over the past century, was an attempt to deprive Ar of the Vosk markets, and make those markets more dependent on overland shipments of goods, originally debarked at shore ports, brought to them by the cargo ships of Tyros, and other maritime powers.

Details
10
6 167 A Merchant of Tabor, accordingly, fearing Tyros, would not be likely to return Talena to Marlenus.

10
6 169 It would be far more likely that the girl would be presented to Tyros, the daughter of their enemy, naked and in the chains of a slave, as a token of good will.

6 186 Turning slowly, sweetly, into the wharves of Laura was the heavy-beamed, large medium galley, bright with the yellow of Tyros.

6 324 We had made one alteration in our original plans, an alteration to take into account the arrival in Laura of the Rhoda of Tyros.

Details
10
13 26 Now, charmingly, they, bound, teased and jested with the men of Tyros.
Details
10
13 28 I would meet those men of Tyros.
Details
10
13 35 Shouting the war cry of Tyros, blades drawn, they ran toward me across the sand and pebbles of the northern shore of the Laurius.
Details
10
13 58 The man from Tyros was alone.
Details
10
13 79 When I passed the one man of Tyros who had yet moved I noted that he now lay still.
Details
10
13 82 I took them to the point where the leader of the men of Tyros had entered the water.
Details
10
13 86 I went and gathered my arrows from the fallen men of Tyros, and rolled their bodies into the Laurius.
Details
10
13 96 "Speak to me," I said, "of what took place in this camp, and tell me what you know of the doings and intentions of the men of Tyros".
Details
10
13 104 "Do you expect the men of Tyros to protect you?" I asked.

10
13 136 Our master dealt with Sarus, Captain of the Rhoda of Tyros.

10
13 139 The men of Tyros, when the wine had been drunk, were to storm the camp".
Details
10
13 158 It was not difficult to imagine that it was not simply to capture Bosk of Port Kar, or to do injury to those of Port Kar, that the Rhoda of Tyros had come to Lydius, and upriver to Laura.
Details
10
13 169 Tyros and Ar, of long standing, are enemies.
Details
10
13 178 "How many men do those of Tyros have?" I asked.
Details
10
13 191 The women, the four slaves, and he who wore the swath of panther girls, were taken, with the majority of the men of Tyros, into the forest".
Details
10
13 255 There were some fifty men of Tyros, as a prize crew, with the Tesephone.
Details
10
13 290 "When did the men of Tyros leave for the camp of Marlenus?" I asked.
Details
10
13 298 It puzzled me, somewhat, that the men of Tyros had dared to approach the camp, with only some one hundred and fifty men.
Details
10
13 305 Even granting the men of Tyros the element of surprise and a superiority in number of some fifty or sixty men, their enterprise was not without considerable hazard.
Details
10
13 310 The men of Tyros had planned carefully.
Details
10
13 331 "By the men of Tyros," I said, "and who?" I pulled her hair back, exposing her throat more.
Details
10
13 351 "It would not be well for you to fall into the hands of those of Tyros, or the hands of Hura's panther girls".
Details
10
14 28 Then, at a given signal, the panther girls within, abetted by the men of Tyros from without, would have, with clubs and ropes, and the butts of their spears, sprung to the attack.
Details
10
14 35 Twenty-five of the fallen wore the yellow of Tyros.
Details
10
14 44 I thus conjectured with Rim, and Marlenus, that Sarus of Tyros, leader of the enemy, held some ninety-six men.
Details
10
14 46 I supposed that the men of Tyros, those who had been engaged in the attack, now numbered somewhere in the neighborhood of one hundred and twenty-five.
Details
10
14 50 The men of Tyros, I was sure, would be eager to march their captives through the forests north of Laura and Lydius to the exchange point, where they would meet, by prearranged rendezvous, the Rhoda and the Tesephone.
Details
10
14 51 It would take time for the men of Tyros to march their captives, in slave chains, through the forest.
Details
10
14 52 When they reached the exchange point it was doubtless their intention to embark their captives and carry them slaves to Tyros.
Details
10
14 54 It would be a great triumph in Tyros, to bring the great Marlenus, naked, in the chains of a slave, branded, before their council.
Details
10
14 55 Doubtless they would first bring him so through the streets, between jeering throngs, chained to the back of a tharlarion wagon, white-silk maidens of Tyros dancing beside him, casting love blossoms upon him.
Details
10
14 56 Marlenus would doubtless make great holiday in Tyros.
Details
10
14 58 I expected that the men of Tyros would be eager to hurry their captives to the sea.
Details
10
14 87 I returned to the camp of Marlenus, and easily picked up the trail of the men of Tyros and the panther girls of Hura's band, and the trail, too, of the wretches, chained, they drove between them.
Details
10
14 92 It was also the night camp of the men of Tyros.
Details
10
14 95 A man of Tyros had a hide drum and, at one side of the clearing, was pounding out a monotonous, repetitive preparatory rhythm.
Details
10
14 97 I could see, too, the yellow of the men of Tyros.
Details
10
14 103 At one side of the clearing I saw Sarus, captain of the Rhoda, leader of the men of Tyros.
Details
10
14 110 I saw two men of Tyros bringing forth a brazier, filled with glowing coals.
Details
10
14 124 Individuals, panther girls and men of Tyros, now, idly, some still eating food from the supper fires, entered the conquest circle.
Details
10
14 127 Then one of the men of Tyros lifted the iron, glowing redly, from the fire.
Details
10
14 197 I recalled how they had, on the beach, laughed and jested with the men of Tyros.
Details
10
14 198 Now they, who had served the men of Tyros, were bound as the helpless slaves of one of Port Kar, one to whom, in the betrayal of his camp, they had done great injury.
Details
10
14 200 They had served the men of Tyros.
Details
10
14 213 * * * * On the branch of the tree, high, in the darkness, crouching, I saw the man of Tyros, with his leather glove, reach to the handle of the slave iron, protruding from the brazier.
Details
10
14 215 By this time the men of Tyros, and the panther girls, had all gathered about in the conquest circle.
Details
10
14 219 Sarus, leader of the men of Tyros, waved his men back now, except for the man with the iron.
Details
10
14 223 At a sign from Hura the man from Tyros thrust the iron back into the brazier, to draw it forth again at her signal.
Details
10
14 232 The men of Tyros glanced to one another.
Details
10
14 297 Several had already, oblivious of the presence of the men of Tyros, torn away their skins to the waist, others completely.
Details
10
14 311 The man of Tyros, with the heavy glove, reached to the iron.
Details
10
14 322 He would be branded, and taken to the coast as slave, for transportation to Tyros, island of his enemies.
Details
10
14 325 Then, with music and ceremony, he would be presented before the High Council of Tyros.
Details
10
14 327 Sarus, leader of the men of Tyros in the forest, his captor, would then give him to the council.
Details
10
14 328 He would then be pronounced, by the council, slave of Tyros.
Details
10
14 335 The man of Tyros, grinning, brought the iron forward.
Details
10
14 341 The man of Tyros was bent over, and then, slowly, very slowly, he straightened.
Details
10
14 345 There was consternation below, screams, men of Tyros leaping to their feet, dirt being cast on fires.
Details
10
15 97 The men of Tyros, I knew, familiar with islands and the sweeps of gleaming Thassa, were inexperienced in the forest.
Details
10
15 99 If I could make it so that the panther girls feared to leave the camp, and, in the marches, would insist on remaining near the long slave chain, putatively protected by their numbers, the men of Tyros would be, for many practical purposes, deprived of the services of their otherwise dangerously effe...
Details
10
15 102 If the men of Tyros knew, as they would, that I might come and go as I pleased, this would have an unsettling effect upon them.
Details
10
15 103 Too, it should produce dissension between the men of Tyros and their allies, the lovely panther girls of the northern forests.
Details
10
15 132 I had heard angry shouts from the men of Tyros, telling them to hunt the forests.
Details
10
15 201 * * * * In their camp the men of Tyros doubtless felt secure.
Details
10
15 242 * * * * The next morning, early, the camp of the men of Tyros had been broken.
Details
10
15 247 The men of Tyros, in their flight, had abandoned much baggage, their own, and baggage taken from the camp of Marlenus.
Details
10
15 349 Among the baggage, too, I found items which had been brought from Verna's camp, which had been taken originally by Marlenus to his camp, and captured there by the men of Tyros and the band of Hura.
Details
10
15 408 The slave chain of the men of Tyros passed below me.
Details
10
15 421 Men of Tyros, and panther girls, flanked the lines of slaves.
Details
10
15 423 Apparently the men of Tyros, and the panther girls, feared to free their hands.
Details
10
15 425 Some burdens were carried even by the men of Tyros.
Details
10
15 427 Eight men of Tyros, with whips, struck the male slaves.
Details
10
15 450 I suspected that, in the eyes of the men of Tyros, and those of the girls of Hura, her position in the slave coffle was regarded as, and intended as, a delicious cruelty.
Details
10
15 453 I had seen, near the front of the march, Sarus, leader of the men of Tyros, and, near him, Hura, and her lieutenant, Mira, who had first betrayed Verna, and then Marlenus.
Details
10
15 457 The men of Tyros and the girls of Hura had had scouts out, flanking their line of march, panther girls.
Details
10
15 475 Sixteen men of Tyros, in single file, brought up the rear of the march.
Details
10
15 484 Too, I cut each of them a piece of the dried, salted meat taken from the abandoned camp of the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura.
Details
10
16 1 I Find Some Tunics of Tyros Mira, who was the lieutenant of Hura, rolled to her side.
Details
10
16 3 The march of the men of Tyros had become a rout.
Details
10
16 10 Eight men of Tyros I felled near the front of the column.
Details
10
16 13 And the men of Tyros were unwilling to do so.
Details
10
16 18 The arrows which had struck the men of Tyros had been those of panther girls, taken from my captures.
Details
10
16 19 The men of Tyros and the girls of Hura did not know the nature nor the number of their stalkers.
Details
10
16 36 Angry the men of Tyros demanded that they stop, but they did not do so.
Details
10
16 65 The men of Tyros and the girls of Hura had feared the light.
Details
10
16 72 In desperation, to my pleasure, some fifteen men of Tyros entered the forest.
Details
10
16 76 In all, throughout the day, the great bow had spoken forty-one times, and forty-one men of Tyros now lay scattered along the trail and in the forest, feed for prowling sleen.
Details
10
16 228 In my camp, there were several bottles of wine, which had been taken originally from Verna's camp by Marlenus, and then from his camp by the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura.
Details
10
16 232 I did not expect it would be drunk by all of the panther girls, but, if I could deprive the men of Tyros of more of their dangerous, beautiful allies, it would be to my advantage.
Details
10
16 267 * * * * "Can you hear me?" cried the man of Tyros.
Details
10
16 269 "If any man of Tyros falls," he cried, "ten slaves will die!" Scarcely had his words been uttered when he, himself, fell, an arrow from the great bow lost in the yellow of his tunic.
Details
10
16 276 Sarus, leader of the men of Tyros, ordered several to do so but none would strike, not wishing themselves to fall.
Details
10
16 301 My own slave coffle, unknown to the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura, was camped not more than two pasangs away.
Details
10
16 304 I decided I would need sleep, and so left the vicinity of the camp of the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura.
Details
10
16 323 Also among the discarded baggage I had found some tunics of Tyros.
Details
10
17 18 This morning the men of Tyros had doubtless awakened pleased and confident, eager to be again on their way to the sea.
Details
10
17 22 The men of Tyros, as I had expected, had not elected to remain at the camp, to protect and defend the girls until they had regained consciousness.
Details
10
17 126 Sarus, leader of the men of Tyros, by my count, when the march had begun had had one hundred and twenty-five men.
Details
10
17 135 It was time I visited, once more, the caravan of Sarus of Tyros.
Details
10
17 155 I then left the chain, and took up again the trail of the men of Tyros, and that of the girls of Hura, who were now of the number of twenty-one.
Details
10
18 5 The tunic of Tyros, once a bright yellow, was now stained and tattered.
Details
10
18 18 "The sea!" He was a brave man, Sarus of Tyros, captain of the Rhoda.
Details
10
18 26 There were no sails, no distant particles of yellow canvas, bespeaking the ships of Tyros, that cluttered that incredible vast margin, the meeting place of the great elements of the sky and the sea.
Details
10
18 35 His men, fifty-five men of Tyros, some falling, made their way down the beach, across the stones, to the edge of the water.
Details
10
18 81 Behind Tina was Grenna, also in the branch-lashed, white-woolen tatters of a slave garment, for she had been enslaved in my camp before her capture by the men of Tyros.
Details
10
18 110 It had been removed, that they might move more rapidly through the forest, eluding those who pursued the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura.
Details
10
18 115 In the last two days, following the night of the drugging of many of Hura's girls, I had not struck further at the men of Tyros with the swift arrows of the great bow.
Details
10
18 159 He stood facing in the direction in which would lie Tyros.
Details
10
18 162 They, too, in their bonds, faced toward Tyros.
Details
10
18 163 The men in the tunics of Tyros threw their yellow caps into the air and cheered, and splashed water on one another, laughing.
Details
10
18 167 * * * * During the afternoon I observed the slave girls, tied in pairs, by the neck, each pair under the guard of a man of Tyros and a panther girl, gathering driftwood and, from the forest's edge, broken branches.
Details
10
18 172 Two men of Tyros watched that pair.
Details
10
18 178 Meanwhile, in good order, with confidence, several men of Tyros entered the forest and cut large numbers of stout saplings.
Details
10
18 195 I was not much observed, standing in the background, wearing the yellow of Tyros.
Details
10
18 197 The men of Tyros were hundreds of pasangs from civilization, but the flames of that blaze brought pleasure to them.
Details
10
18 199 The men of Tyros began to sing, standing near it.
Details
10
18 214 Then, on the other side of them, closer to the sea, lay the gagged, helplessly thonged slave girls; then came the blankets and supplies of Hura's twenty-one women; then came the equipment of the fifty-five men of Tyros, almost at the margin of the animal fires.
Details
10
18 215 Again and again the men of Tyros and their fair allies, the women of Hura, cheered.
Details
10
18 224 The tunic of Tyros, in a tight roll, was tied across my back.
Details
10
18 240 A man of Tyros, with a whip, followed each pair.
Details
10
18 256 The men of Tyros, following the weeping girls with their whips, did not care to enter the forest.
Details
10
18 290 They knelt before the figure in the yellow of Tyros who stood with the whip, waiting for them, on the beach.
Details
10
18 308 I wiped sand from my right hand on the woolen tunic of Tyros.
Details
10
18 310 "There are more than fifty men of Tyros here," said Tina.
Details
10
18 311 "There are fifty-five, excluding Sarus of Tyros, their leader," I told her.
Details
10
18 316 "I think," said Cara, smiling, "there is danger here, too, for those of Tyros".
Details
10
18 329 The men of Tyros might use it for their fires, and their beacon.
Details
10
18 352 The pile of branches and driftwood was some twenty pasangs south of the camp of the men of Tyros.
Details
10
18 470 Their ships are seen as far to the south as Schendi and Bazi, as far to the north as the great frozen sea, and are known as far to the west as the cliffs of Tyros and the terraces of Cos.
Details
10
18 540 There were, altogether, sixteen men of Tyros, including he who held the tiller.
Details
10
18 552 "I was stolen from Bosk of Port Kar," wept Tina, "by the terrible Sarus of Tyros".

19 13 "Captain!" We stood some hundred yards from the palisade erected by the men of Tyros, south of it, on the beach.

10
19 127 The men of Tyros were startled.
Details
10
19 138 They were strange allies, the men of Tyros, the women of Hura.
Details
10
19 142 The mood of the men of Tyros toward them was not pleasant.
Details
10
19 145 The slaves in the stockade, the twenty-two wenches behind the circle of the men of Tyros and the women of Hura, and beyond them, lying on their stomachs, chained, facing the back wall of the stockade, Marlenus and the twenty others, could know little or nothing of what was transpiring.
Details
10
19 154 A man of Tyros threw more wood on a fire inside the stockade, well illuminating the interior.
Details
10
19 162 He had doubtless risen through the ranks to a position of prominence, which, given the aristocracies of Tyros, was unusual.

19 170 He reminded me a bit of Chenbar of Tyros, her Ubar, also of lowly origin.

19 241 The slave girls lay bound in the shadows, head to foot, behind the men of Tyros, the women of Hura.
Details
10
19 255 As I looked on, unmoved, Hura, and her women, screaming and struggling, seized from behind by the men of Tyros, were thrown to their bellies in the dirt.
Details
10
19 317 "Please help us," begged the women of the men of Tyros.
Details
10
19 347 "He is Bosk of Port Kar!" I heard a stirring among the slaves behind the men of Tyros.

20 78 I saw two men of Tyros running, breaking suddenly for the gate.
Details
10
20 83 A yellow-clad man of Tyros suddenly thrust at me with a spear.
Details
10
20 108 Four of the men at the gate, thinking to protect themselves, ran against other men of Tyros.
Details
10
20 109 I saw Hura darting free, cut loose by a man of Tyros.
Details
10
20 111 I encountered a man of Tyros, back against the wall.
Details
10
20 115 Some six men of Tyros, near the center of the stockade, some fifteen yards from the gate, were engaged with blades, striking at one another.
Details
10
20 131 Four times my blade thrust, and four men of Tyros slipped back, stumbling from the gate.
Details
10
20 153 I saw two more men of Tyros fall, one with Sarus, one with those who had attempted to flee.
Details
10
20 155 Another man of Tyros fell, at the hands of one of his fellows, and then another.
Details
10
20 160 "Stop, in the name of Chenbar!" The men of Tyros, wild-eyed, half crazed with fear, fell back.
Details

20 161 I knew then how in Tyros stood the word of Chenbar.
Details
10
20 260 At the line of the men of Tyros the torches were lifted.
Details

20 262 "Greetings," said I, "Sarus of the island of Tyros".

10
20 275 No man at the line of the men of Tyros carried it.
