Henceforth you shall be Judge of Death to the men of the Kosekin, and Sar Tabakin over the whole nation." I received the knife in silence, for I had nothing to say; but now Almah spoke, as was fitting for her to do, since with the Kosekin the women must take the precedence; and here it was expected that she should reply in behalf of both of us.

We will begin our reign over the Kosekin with memorable acts of mercy.

These two great victims shall be enough for the Mista Kosek of this season.

"To all you hags and paupers we grant the splendid and unparalleled boon of exile to Magones.
