2093 VII |         Greece, Taprobane and Judaea; mandrepores bristled like large bushes
2094 VII |             before the ruins of their manger.~They recognised him and
2095 XIV |             on a corpse, and had been mangling it for a long time, a man
2096 XIV |                Many through a strange mania would repeat the same word

2139 XI  |               Mercenaries, ay, and so meek that I used to carry wood
2140 VII |            without an escort, for the meetings of the Ancients were, under
2141 XIII|       chanting a thesmophorion in the Megarian dialect.~From time to time

2143 IX  |              a Balearic song, a vague melody full of prolonged modulations,
2144 VII |              heard issuing a mournful melopoeia.~The heavy mill-stones were
2145 XV  |          thyrsus; blocks of snow were melting on ebony trays, and lemons,

2147 VII |               all abated; they hurled menaces at him by way of farewells,
2148 XIII|            terrible extravagances. He mentally summoned Salammbo to an
2149 XIV |       roadside, and had then become a Mercenary, repaid this devotion by
2150 XIII|          which bound their souls to a merciful divinity was breaking.~But
2151 XIII|             dark Neblo, the genius of Mercury, to the hideous Rahab, which
2152 II  |             shouted, they leaped, the merriest began to tell stories; the
2153 XIV |            were allowed to finish the mess. Then when they had risen

2155 II  |         lashes, shone with a hard and metallic lustre. He held a spatula

2180 I   |        uttered screams which afforded mirth to the soldiers.~Oblong
2181 XV  |            and they howled at him the mischief that they could not inflict
2182 IV  |           that he doubtless wished to mislead the Carthaginians as to
2183 VIII|                 The thought of having missed the battle rendered him

2190 XIII|              passers-by to rend them. Mobs formed around them, and
2191 V   |              no more.~Then a mournful modulation lingered for a time through
2192 IX  |              melody full of prolonged modulations, with interruptions and
