Lord Nishida seemed to smile, slightly. I doubted that either Thrasilicus or Lord Nishida believed me to suppose they truly labored for Priest-Kings, but it did not seem judicious to them, obviously, to express doubt as to my convictions in this matter, nor did it seem judicious to me to challenge their claim, or, perhaps better, that of Thrasilicus, for Lord Nishida had never proclaimed that thesis, nor, as far as I could tell, did he care what I might believe in this matter. Both would presumably be aware that the coordinates had been supplied to kurii on the Steel World, formerly that of "Agamemnon," later that of "Arcesilaus," by Priest-Kings, and that, accordingly, some kurii, at least, perhaps unauthorized kurii, despite the supposed confidentiality of the matter, might have had access to them. Expressions, incidentally, such as "Agamemnon" and "Arcesilaus" are used for convenience, as the actual names, being in kur, cannot be rendered in the phonemes of either English or Gorean. The two names given were used by humans on the Steel World in question to refer to the individuals involved. I have retained the usage. I gathered it did not make a great deal of difference to either Thrasilicus or Lord Nishida whether I took them, in fact, to be laboring in the cause of Priest-Kings or not. - (Swordsmen of Gor, Chapter )
