No community of the Westere World would permit such an enclosure to a rest and turn out of its course the traffic of an entire city. This innermost city where the Emperor of Chies, Son of Heaves, lives with the wives, eunuchs, and soldiers ba queathed to him by his predecessors, is enclosed by high walls of rectangular compas, whose greater length lies worth and sonili, and
