The numbers, it seemed, rather certainly, were prearranged numbers, and not merely numbers indicating the order of capture. - (Mercenaries of Gor, Chapter 13, Sentence #232)

437, of course, was the number written on the girl's left breast. As her number was 437 and there were only some one hundred or one hundred and fifty or so females in the chain, near the wall, I assumed there was probably one or more collection points elsewhere, perhaps nearer the Semnium, the Council Hall. On the other hand perhaps there were merely more females to come in. The numbers, it seemed, rather certainly, were prearranged numbers, and not merely numbers indicating the order of capture. The officer, for example, already had had her number on his list, probably with her name. In this fashion, the girls being added to the chain as captured, this chain, or any others, might have diverse numbers upon it. I had gathered, for example, from what the officer had said, that the girl's mother, number 261 on the list, was somewhere in this very chain, which would have been unlikely if its prisoners were being added to it in a strict numerical sequence. - (Mercenaries of Gor)
