It was difficult to estimate the numbers of female slaves seized by Cos, just as the number of verr and such. - (Magicians of Gor, Chapter 9, Sentence #610)

The rumor was that Cos had set the first levy on free females from Ar at only ten thousand.

To be sure, this was merely the first levy. It was difficult to estimate the numbers of female slaves seized by Cos, just as the number of verr and such. There were apparently levies for such slaves but, as certain forms of looting or taxation, they were not much publicized. Such slaves, like jewelry, Torian rugs, silver plate, verr, and such, tended to be seized largely as a result of house-to-house searches. More than once I had seen a begging, tearful slave torn from the arms of a beloved master, to be bound and led away on a Cosian leash. - (Magicians of Gor)
