Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote
18	1	In the Central Cylinder As the tarn climbed, I saw the camp of Pa-kur, the ditches, the double walls of Ar with siege engines like leeches fastened to the inner wall, and, approaching the city, Pa-kur's long lines of chanting garrison troops, the morning sun flashing on ...
2	131	"Where a man sets his Home Stone, he claims, by law, that land for himself.
8	14	The city is under martial law".
14	34	Where others could see no more than the codes of their castes, where others could sense no call of duty beyond that of their Home Stone, I dared to dream the dream of Ar—that there might be an end to meaningless warfare, bloodshed, and terror, an end to the anxiety and peril, the retribution ...
8	150	"Pa-kur, Ar's Master Assassin, was dispatched to kill you, but failed".
11	21	That night we brought the caravan into the palisaded keep prepared for Mintar by Pa-kur, the Master Assassin, who was the Ubar of this vast, scarcely organized, predatory horde.
11	24	I noted with satisfaction that Pa-kur, Master Assassin, proud leader of perhaps the greatest horde ever assembled on the plains of Gor, had need of Mintar, who was only of the Merchant Caste.
12	10	"I am Pa-kur," said the man.
12	20	The men behind Pa-kur muttered at my impudence.
12	27	Pa-kur raised his hand with an imperious gesture.
12	29	It was a tarn disk hurled by one of Pa-kur's men.
12	32	The men of Pa-kur stamped their feet in the sand and clanged their spears on their shields.
12	33	"I spoke as a fool," I said to Pa-kur.
12	39	Pa-kur gestured to the men to desist.
12	40	"What have you done with the girl?" "She is Talena, daughter of the Ubar Marlenus," said Pa-kur.
12	43	"She has accepted me," said Pa-kur, "and will rule by my side".
12	51	Then, each of the men of Pa-kur, as is the custom before a frame is surrendered to the waters of the Vosk, spit on my body.
12	52	Lastly, Pa-kur spit in his hand and then placed his hand on my chest.
12	53	"Were it not for the daughter of Marlenus," said Pa-kur, his metallic face as placid as the quicksilver behind a mirror, "I would have slain you honorably.
12	69	The image of the treacherous, beautiful Talena, in her dancing silks, as she had lain in my arms, tormented me—she who would gladly give her kisses to the cold Pa-kur for a place on the throne of Ar, she whose implacable hatred had sent me to this terrible death, not even permit...
12	92	Had we done so, I might have seen the war horde of Pa-kur on its way to Ar, with its marching columns, its lines of tharlarion riders, its foraging cavalries of tarnsmen, its supply wagons and pack animals.
12	98	My hair froze as I heard the shrill, angry cry of another tarn; he was an enormous creature as sable as the helmet of Pa-kur, his wings beating like whips, bearing down relentlessly on my captor.
12	153	That would mean that I had unknowingly passed over the great highway, but whether ahead of or behind Pa-kur's horde I had no idea.
13	10	To the southwest I could see dimly the evening light reflected from the spires of Ar, and to the north, approaching from the Vosk, I could see the glow from what must be thousands of cooking fires, the night's camp of Pa-kur.
14	126	"She agreed to be the mate of Pa-kur, the Assassin," he said, "in order that you might have one small chance of life, on the Frame of Humiliation".
14	128	"It is common knowledge in the camp of Pa-kur," replied Marlenus.
15	9	Beyond the walls were Pa-kur's lines of investment, set forth with all the skill of Gor's most experienced siege engineers.
15	21	Behind this wall were the innumerable tents of Pa-kur's horde.
15	26	When it came time for Pa-kur to attack, bridges would be constructed over the ditches.
15	29	One aspect of the siege which I knew would exist but which I obviously could not witness would be the sensitive duel of mine and countermine which must be taking place between the camp of Pa-kur and the city of Ar.

1	2	He was an instructor in English history and I, intending to work for some three years to save money toward law school, had accepted an appointment as an instructor in physical education, a field which, to my annoyance, Cabot never convinced himself belonged in the curriculum of an educ...
1	35	By that time I had long ago saved the money I needed for law school and had not taught for three years.
1	36	Indeed, I was then completing my studies at the school of law associated with one of New York's best-known private universities.
1	188	Later, following another examination, I was admitted to the bar in New York State, and I entered one of the immense law offices in the city, hoping to obtain eventually enough experience and capital to open a small practice of my own.
11	54	"Does the law of Tharna not give it the right to speak, Dorna the Proud, Second in Tharna?" asked the Tatrix, whose voice, too, was imperious and cold, yet pleased me more than the tones of she who wore the silver mask.
11	55	"Does the law recognize beasts?" asked the woman whose name was Dorna the Proud.
21	269	On Gor a slave, not being legally a person, does not have a name in his own right, just as, on earth, our domestic animals, not being persons before the law, do not have names.

5	86	"On the Cylinder of Justice I fought with you against Pa-kur and his assassins".
7	34	It was obvious that Thorn, unlike my old enemy Pa-kur, who presumably had perished at the siege of Ar, was not a man above sensual vices, not a man who could with fanatical purity and single-minded devotion sacrifice himself and entire peoples to the ends of his ambition and power.
8	109	Since the siege of Ar, when Pa-kur, Master Assassin, had violated the limits of his caste and had presumed, in contradiction to the traditions of Gor, to lead a horde upon the city, intending to make himself Ubar, the Caste of Assassins had lived as hated, hunted men, no longer esteeme...

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote
1	54	The fairs, incidentally, are governed by Merchant law and supported by booth rents and taxes levied on the items exchanged.
1	56	Yet perhaps this is not so puzzling, for the Gorean cities will, within their own walls, enforce the Merchant law when pertinent, even against their own citizens.
1	63	Sometimes these men are merchants who wish thereby to secure goodwill for their products; sometimes they are practitioners of the law, who hope to sway the votes of jury men; sometimes they are Ubars or High Initiates who find it in their interests to keep the crowds amused.

17	153	"What right have you to make the law for him?" I asked.

2	5	Pa-kur, who had been Master of the Assassins, had led a league of tributary cities to attack Imperial Ar in the time when its Home Stone had been stolen and its Ubar forced to flee.
2	6	The city had fallen and Pa-kur, though of low caste, had aspired to inherit the imperial mantle of Marlenus, had dared to lift his eyes to the throne of Empire and place about his neck the golden medallion of a Ubar, a thing forbidden to such as he in the myths of the Counter-Earth.
2	7	Pa-kur's horde had been defeated by an alliance of free cities, led by Ko-ro-ba and Thentis, under the command of Matthew Cabot of Ko-ro-ba, the father of Tarl of Bristol, and Kazrak of Port Kar, sword brother of the same Warrior.
2	8	Tarl of Bristol himself on the windy height of Ar's Cylinder of Justice had defeated Pa-kur, Master of the Assassins.
2	189	Moreover, Kazrak had been one of the leaders of the forces that had preserved Ar in the time of its troubles with Pa-kur, master of the Assassins; as the tale was now told in the streets, the men of Ar themselves, alone, had overthrown the invader; Kazrak seemed a living reminder that ...

21	520	Perhaps the kur with whom I had trekked had, with the frenzy of a kur's strength, wrenched it aside, before meeting the four charges of the other kur's weapon.
13	387	A man, I felt, could know a kur, but Priest-Kings, I suspected, could only know about a kur.
21	458	I was puzzled that the kur with whom I had trekked, who had worn the ring, had been hit four times, accurately, with the weapon of the kur who stalked me.

24	97	"And it is a civic matter, and you have been authorized to apprehend her and bring her before a slave praetor?" Slaves, as animals, lack standing before the law.
6	124	The Vosk road was apparently one of the roads used many years ago by the horde of Pa-kur, of the Assassins, in its approach to the city of Ar.

1	100	The oddity, or anomaly, has to do in its way with law.
1	101	The state, or a source of law, it seems, can decide whether one has a certain status or not, say, whether one is a citizen or not a citizen, licensed or not licensed, an outlaw or not an outlaw, and such.

16	160	Not all masters brand and collar their slaves, but branding and collaring is strongly recommended in Merchant law, and it would be a rare slave girl who was not both branded and collared.
18	134	In its way, the collar has some of the symbolic aspects of the marriage ring, except, of course, that that ring is a symbol worn by a free woman who is the putative equal of a man, whereas the collar is worn by a slave, and, aside from such things as its identificatory purposes, important in Merchan...

10	229	Too, are not kur pets often so treated?" "Certainly kur pets are often so treated," said Peisistratus, "but I am certain, in this case, that Pyrrhus hopes you will be provoked, perhaps to an uncivil word, a protest, an insult, perhaps even a blow".
11	48	As the names of these two individuals are in kur we shall refer to them, as is our wont, by choosing, almost at random, names whose phonemic nature will be accessible to readers who may be supposed unfamiliar with kur.

26	256	The former Ubara had been embonded in accord with the couching law of Marlenus of Ar, any free woman who couches with, or prepares to couch with, a male slave, becomes herself a slave, and the property of the male slave's master.
26	293	Possession, particularly after a lengthy interval, is often regarded as decisive, by praetors, archons, magistrates, scribes of the law, and such.

1	207	A kur, unarmed, is a match for a sleen.
1	208	A kur, armed, has little to fear, unless taken unawares.

1	293	Three other such related worlds were the Hunting World, used for kur sport, the Industrial World, in which its manufacturing was accomplished, and the Agricultural World, in which a variety of crops were raised under controlled conditions, largely by automation.
9	38	The only free woman with whom she had had contact with on the Steel World had been the Lady Bina, a former kur pet, who was less a Gorean free woman than a remarkably beautiful, ambitious, vain little animal.
9	79	Accordingly, it is not unprecedented that a female kur agent on Gor, to increase her mobility and anonymity, may be dressed as though she were, despite her freedom and importance, no more than a slave.
9	89	kur agents, of course, often recruited pairs, primarily, one supposes, for the reasons suggested earlier.
12	81	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.
12	120	It was not surprising that female kur agents were almost always quite beautiful.
23	228	I recalled one I had met, long ago, on the height of the Central Cylinder in Ar, Pa-kur, master of the Assassins.

29	30	The guard, backed now by the second kur, the armed kur, motioned that Lord Grendel should retreat to the rear of his cell, which he did.
32	7	Looking about myself, as inconspicuously as possible, I noted that almost every kur in the room was a silver-chain kur.
33	117	Part kur, he was perhaps more than kur, adding to the horror of one species the worst of another.
33	128	These differences would have been instantaneously obvious to a kur, but I am sure that many humans would have seen little or no difference between Grendel and a purely bred, or full-blooded, kur.
33	132	I gathered that his kur was closer to kur, than his Gorean to Gorean.
37	169	Following this two kurii were presented to the machine, one a silver-chain kur and one an iron-chain kur.

48	124	Back in the room, closer to the portal through which the newcomers had emerged, kur struggled with kur.
48	237	The silver-chain kur had then been slain, most unpleasantly, by Agamemnon, then housed in the large, crab-like metal body, and the silver chain, with garlands, had been awarded to former iron-chain kur.
49	28	The experiment, as noted, had a political end in view, that of producing a kur-like thing, with kur allegiances, with enough human characteristics to interact profitably with Gorean humans, garnering alliances, and such.
5	50	The collar may be viewed as a simple contrivance, a device prescribed by Merchant law, identifying a slave and, if the collar is engraved, often her master.
