3 70 The naval tradition of Cos is an ancient one, and many of the officers of Port Cos were native Cosians, mercenaries or veterans of the Cosian navy, on detached duty to the colony, that the interests of the mother island might be defended on the Vosk.

3 144 To be sure, many of its contingents were composed of mercenaries sworn to the temporary service of diverse fee captains, and not Cosian regulars.

10
4 34 I had little doubt that it was the current weakness and disorder in this area, attendant on the Cosian invasion, which had drawn the Alars this far south.
Details
10
5 93 We were in the camp of the wagoners, one of those associated with the supply trains of the soldiers of Cos and the Cosian mercenaries.
Details
10
6 35 I pondered the likely prices of a stuffed mushroom in a black-market transaction in a war-torn district, one turned into a near desert by the predations of organized foragers, in particular, the price of such a mushroom perhaps diverted at great hazard from the tables of Cosian generals.
Details
10
8 87 "Cosian mercenaries?" asked Hurtha.
Details
10
8 89 It did not seem to me impossible that some of the mercenary troops with the Cosian army might have doubled back to strike at one of their own supply columns.

9 3 "It will be more Cosian cavalry," said Hurtha.

9 65 Torcadino, as far as I knew, had been left at the mercy of the Cosian armies.

10
9 66 The city was now used as a Cosian stronghold and staging area.

10
10 33 "If Torcadino were to be stormed, and fired, and these supplies captured or destroyed, the Cosian movements would surely be hampered, if not altogether arrested.

15 214 Too, I suspect your ejection of the civilian population from Torcadino is not merely political, to appear to show concern, generosity, and mercy, nor merely expedient, to remove them from the city, thus conserving supplies and removing possible Cosian sympathizers from behind your back, but to incre...

10
2 99 I had been in Torcadino several weeks ago, indeed, at the very moment when the city, housing Cosian siege engines and supplies, serving as a depot and staging area for the eastward advance of Cos, had, in a daring stratagem, been seized by Dietrich of Tarnburg with no more than a few thousand mercen...
Details
10
2 100 These had entered the city through aqueducts, literally over the heads of unsuspecting Cosian armies camped about the city.
Details
10
2 106 I had urged him to march on Torcadino and confront the main body of Cosian forces.
Details
10
2 110 It also, in effect, seemed to negate the bold stroke of Dietrich, to slow the Cosian advance, and give Ar time to organize, to arm and march.
Details
10
2 142 Such a move, of course, might isolate the Cosian main forces, both depriving them of their support from Cos and Tyros and separating them from their fellows at Ar's Station.
Details
10
2 150 It was almost as though the officers of Ar were content to exchange Ar for a port, and one which, strictly, was not even a Cosian port.

10
8 356 Cosian beauties make excellent slaves.
Details
10
9 8 We were just within the fringes of the Cosian camp.
Details
10
9 37 The first portion of my plan had been to reach Ar's Station as swiftly as possible, which meant, in effect, to do so on tarnback, and in such a way as to gain immunity from the attentions of Cosian tarn patrols.
Details
10
9 46 I had been immediately pursued and fired upon by flights of Cosian tarnsmen.
Details
10
10 19 This was the most advanced of the Cosian siege trenches.
Details
10
10 92 Those who were not of Cos, and were mercenaries, fighting only for their fees, and some loot, perhaps a female or two, and gold, would presumably not be much moved by appeals to Cosian heritages or patriotism.
Details
10
10 212 I supposed he must be Cosian, natively.
Details
10
10 214 "Show us what a Cosian can do," said a man.
Details
10
10 328 I assumed that at the distance I could not be heard in the Cosian lines.
Details
10
10 360 I saw his hand, pointing out, toward the Cosian lines.
Details
10
11 216 "All that stands between Ar and Cos," I said, "is the presence of Dietrich at Torcadino, where he has seized Cosian supplies and engines".
Details
10
11 221 "The Cosian siege train was captured within Torcadino," I said.
Details
10
11 223 Indeed, the Cosian main forces, which I assure you are not inferior in numbers to those of Ar, are probably now in winter quarters, perhaps a tenth of them in the vicinity of Torcadino.
Details
10
11 229 If I were Myron, Polemarkos of Temos, he in command of the Cosian forces on the continent, I would myself turn toward Ar, wasting no time at Torcadino, a subsidiary objective.
Details
10
11 230 Dietrich would then escape, but he would not have the forces necessary to do more than harry the Cosian advance to Ar, and, once those forces are out of Torcadino, they might well be hunted down and dealt with, with only a fraction of the might of Cos".
Details
10
11 250 "The main Cosian forces are here, at Ar's Station.
Details
10
11 265 I would also suggest to you that there is indeed a Cosian invasion force in the south, and one that makes the one here look like a squad.
Details
10
11 268 You must realize that even here the majority of the men who face you are not Cosian regulars but allies and mercenaries".
Details
10
11 274 "From cities interested in a Cosian victory," I said, "and, too, I suspect, from Ar herself".
Details
10
11 287 "'The bearer of this cylinder, who calls himself Tarl, of Port Kar,'" read Aemilianus, "'is a Cosian spy.
Details
10
12 111 Some women, as you probably know, particularly those without money, stripped themselves and lowered themselves over the wall, surrendering to the first Cosian they met, selling themselves into slavery for so little as a crust of bread or a handful of gruel".
Details
10
13 14 Accordingly I had given her a Cosian name.
Details
10
14 42 "We want you to put on a good show for your Cosian friends," said the warder.
Details
10
15 10 From time to time we could hear, and sometimes feel, through the floor, the impact of the Cosian projectiles, the great stones, some of which would weigh a thousand pounds or more, flung by mighty catapults, some the size of houses.
Details
10
15 386 If I were a Cosian, however, I think you would have done it somewhat less insolently".
Details
10
15 597 Too, thusly, it was now of a convenient length for a Cosian to seize it, should that eventuality occur.
Details
10
15 700 "Are you not a Cosian?" she asked.
Details
10
15 795 "Yes," he said, "for example, on a Cosian sales block".
Details
10
15 809 "By nightfall you will probably be in a collar, licking the feet of a Cosian," he said.
Details
10
15 865 "Think now on Cosian gold," he said, bitterly.
Details
10
15 867 "Let us show your Cosian friends how pretty you will look on the spear," he said, angrily.
Details
10
15 924 Doubtless once, too, you thought yourself very clever, when you betrayed your city and accepted Cosian gold.
Details
10
15 935 "Let that be the irony, if you wish, that today, of all days, when the citadel surely must shortly fall, when she is so close to rescue by her Cosian friends, but so far, that she, today, of all days, in full view of the foe, in justice and defiance, is placed upon the spear!" Lady Publia shuddered.
Details
10
16 448 "Ah," she said, "I would that I were there, too, my master, but I fear that that pleasure, if pleasure it be, seeing me so, having me so, will go not to you, but, if luck be with me, to a Cosian".
Details
10
16 452 It seems not unfitting, then, that you should belong to a Cosian".
Details
10
17 85 A Cosian, twisting, fell back from the wall.
Details
10
17 446 A Cosian, wounded, seeing me, tried to struggle to his feet.
Details
10
17 663 "Do not let them escape!" called a Cosian pointing downward.
Details
10
17 672 These men I saw, however, did not wear the blue of Cosian regulars but only armbands of blue.
Details
10
18 36 Some bought their way out, which you could do, in the early days, before the Cosian casualties were high".
Details
10
18 74 "They are afraid of the Cosian ships, that the wall of rafts will be opened, that they will attack.
Details
10
18 245 A Cosian slid down a rope, shielded by the women.
Details
10
18 258 It could be seen from the wall even more clearly than from the landing, I suppose, the steady, blade by blade, stroke by stroke, expansion of Cosian territory below, its burgeoning from the gate.
Details
10
18 336 "They are taking the women!" cried one of the fellows, a few ranks in the Cosian press.
Details
10
18 338 There was a momentary hesitation in the Cosian advance.
Details
10
18 343 "The women are being taken behind you," I cried to the Cosians, "taken by those who have not even nicked their steel!" "Forward!" cried a Cosian officer.
Details
10
18 368 I saw more than one female slave, kneeling before a Cosian, her hands fastened behind her, put her head far back, to facilitate the insertion of the nose ring.
Details
10
18 479 The camp commander, he in charge of the Cosian forces at Ar's Station, had resumed his coign of vantage.
Details
10
19 102 "The harbor is closed with Cosian ships and the chain of rafts," said another.
Details
10
20 166 Suddenly I saw the flagship, knifing through an opening in the chain of rafts, literally sheer oars from the side of the Cosian ship put about in the harbor.
Details
10
20 167 I then saw another Cosian ship rammed amidships.
Details
10
20 168 The other three Cosian ships were trying to make a landfall at the sides of the harbor.
Details
10
20 172 The crews of the other two Cosian ships which had been in the harbor, those not injured, and that not run aground, leapt over the sides, and, waist deep, waded to shore.
Details
10
20 318 Indeed, it had been the second ship into the harbor, and the one that had rammed the Cosian ship amidships.
Details
10
20 354 "One Cosian ship has been destroyed in the harbor," I said, "and another has been disabled".
Details
10
21 33 The voices she had heard about her, for the most part, naturally enough, given the crew of the Tais, would have had Cosian accents, or accents akin to them.
Details
10
21 160 "Cosian ships?" he asked.
Details
10
21 162 "There were Cosian ships about".
Details
10
21 181 "I make it out to be Cosian," she whispered.
Details
10
21 487 Her begging for a Cosian collar but moments ago, and her open admission of the fittingness and rightness of her being collared, interestingly, would probably not be considered at all.
Details
10
21 1045 I supposed that, eventually, both Publia and Claudia would be vended in Cosian slave markets, As slaves they would have no Home Stones, nor native land, no more than a tarsk or kaiila.
Details
10
21 1364 Even if she had once been a Cosian girl, even of Telnus, of good family and high caste, she would still, now, be a slave, and only a slave.
Details
10
21 1380 "A Cosian name," observed Calliodorus.
Details
10
21 1398 I supposed that Aemilianus might think that Cosian names might be better for slaves, whereas Calliodorus might tend to approve more of names more typical of the south, say, those of Venna or Ar.
Details
10
24 137 After the fall of Ar's Station the Cosian troops, and their allies, mercenary and otherwise, would have much more freedom.
Details
10
24 146 I wondered if he had managed to secure redemption from some passing Cosian, perhaps a comrade in arms who might have recognized him.
Details
10
24 324 "They are apparently intent upon destroying the Cosian expeditionary force in the north," said Aemilianus.
Details
10
24 330 "But if you were the Cosian commander in the north," I said to Aemilianus, "you would surely, if possible, avoid engaging the main body of Ar".
Details
10
24 439 After a Cosian buys you, of course, he can do with you what he wants.
Details
10
24 528 "What manner of slaves are those?" called a fellow on the pier, apparently, by his garb, a Cosian, to the keeper on the bow deck.
Details
10
24 569 A Cosian merchant in the crowd cried out in anger.
Details
10
24 579 "Thus, by such means as provocative dress and habiliments, baring even her calves, hoping then to be taken for a lowly, beautiful, meaningless maid, by even refusing to cut her hair on behalf of the city's needs, an act by means of which she hoped to appear more attractive to strong men, more attrac...
Details
10
24 584 "I am a Cosian!" called out a fellow.

24 587 "And this one," said the keeper, indicating Claudia, "betrayed her compatriots, declared for Cos and took Cosian gold for treason!" "But she is a slave now?" called a man.
Details
10
24 594 "And I am only a slave now! Please have mercy on a slave!" "She, too," said the keeper, "is to be sold to a Cosian".

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
32 283 The rencers, noting our hostility to the Cosian, and accepting the possibility that he might actually be Cosian, permitted him to leave the holding area before us, presumably so he would have time to reach the Cosian lines before we could apprehend him.
Details
10
32 278 For the first time our captors then took seriously that the Cosian with us was a Cosian.
Details
10
40 75 The seizure of these materials in Torcadino, which had been serving as a Cosian depot for the invasion force, had been the prime objective of Dietrich in taking the city, he hoping then to forestall the Cosian advance and give Ar time to prepare itself for war.
Details

1 83 "We were taken to the Cosian camp, near Ar's Station," she said.

Details
10
1 1144 I then began to make my way toward the encampment and cots of Artemidorus, the Cosian mercenary.
Details
10
1 1303 I myself found it difficult to believe that the forces of Ar at Holmesk did not know, and with some degree of accuracy, the nature, the movements, the marching orders, and such, of the Cosian forces in the north.
Details
10
3 43 This party, except for myself, consisted of five men, mercenaries, under the command of a Cosian regular.
Details
10
3 48 They afforded me a priceless cover, for example, from the investigations, if not the sudden, unprovoked attacks, of Cosian tarnsmen.
Details
10
3 61 I had expected that I might find Marcus here, somewhere, that in accordance with his carefully laid contingency plan, we having become separated in the Cosian camp, thanks to my inadvertent encounter with the courier, Borton.
Details
10
3 70 To be sure, he himself, as he had made clear to me, with much firmness and in no little detail, back in the Cosian camp on the Vosk, was similarly ready, in such a situation, to be sacrificed, and cheerfully.
Details
10
3 79 Even if he were not, I suspected that the commandant at Holmesk was as much aware of the position and movements of the Cosian expeditionary force as either Marcus or I.
Details
10
3 110 Yet that is what he had wanted, to inform the high command of Ar near Holmesk of the movements and position of the Cosian expeditionary force.
Details
10
3 314 Many mercenary companies consist of little more than rabbles of armed ruffians, others, like those of Dietrich of Tarnburg, Pietro Vacchi and Raymond, of Rive-du-Bois, are crack troops, as professional as warriors of Ar or Cosian regulars.
Details
10
4 63 This also explained, of course, the matter of the betraying message which I had unwittingly carried at great risk to Ar's Station on behalf of Gnieus Lelius, regent in Ar, that message which had identified me as a Cosian spy.

9 89 "Now soon, sleen," gloated he, "will you see your Cosian masters beneath our blades!" I stood unsteadily in the water.
Details
10
12 156 But could this have been the case if Cosian forces had earlier entered the delta, in great numbers, to flee the vengeance of Ar? Would they themselves not have taken such craft, or destroyed them, as they could? Where do you think the sympathies of those in Turmus and Ven lie, with Ar, or Cos? Is it...

13 36 "But your skin, my Cosian sleen," said he, "belongs to Ar.

14 140 "Then you are Cosian," he said.

16 44 "There are Cosian regulars, as well," I said.
Details
10
16 56 There is much Cosian sympathy in the north.

17 42 Their every move in the delta, for days, had probably been reported to the Cosian commander, perhaps Policrates himself, said once to have been a pirate, by tarn scouts.

19 1708 "Do you not think they would like to have a Cosian spy in their power?" "Do not turn me over to them!" she begged.

19 1722 "You could always explain to them, in chains at their feet, how you were actually a Cosian spy".
Details
10
19 1729 "Too," I said, "even if they believed you, I think you might learn that the average Cosian is no more fond of spies, of whatever side, than the average fellow of Ar".

27 135 "I am not a Cosian spy," I said.
Details
10
28 107 "You are a Cosian".
Details
10
28 108 "I am not Cosian," I said.
Details
10
30 14 The next day, having come far enough east to hopefully place Cosian patrols to our west, across our most likely route of exit, we began to move south.
Details
10
31 114 "Too, he knew there was no retreating Cosian force in the delta, and he might well suppose you knew this, as well.
Details
10
32 71 I supposed that this late in the summer most Cosian regulars would have been withdrawn from the delta watch.
Details
10
32 75 To be sure, I suspected that he, or his informants, would not be likely to discriminate nicely between complete and selective surveillance, between closed patterns, such as manned perimeters, and random patrols, or even between Cosian regulars and mercenaries.
Details
10
32 143 "There is a fellow running, a Cosian, and some fellows in the garb of Ar, how many I am not sure, are pursuing him".
Details
10
32 146 Perhaps they were actually Cosians, or mercenaries, dressed to lure in fellows of Ar, and the fellow, himself, might be of Ar, in the uniform of a Cosian.
Details
10
32 203 "You have lost us the Cosian," said one of the men.
Details
10
32 204 "He is not a Cosian," I said.
Details
10
32 219 I frankly doubted that there would be many folks from Ar's Station who would retain much affection for, or allegiance to, Ar, given Ar's abandonment of Ar's Station to the Cosian force in the north.
Details
10
32 231 "It was given to him by rencers," said Claudius, "who took our word that he was Cosian, even though he himself denied it".
Details
10
32 268 "What of the one you call a Cosian?" I asked.
Details
10
32 279 At our request, they found for him a uniform of Cos, probably one which they had been given as a diplomatic gift, or one of several for use in approaching Cosian patrols.
Details
10
32 287 "He is not a Cosian," I said.
Details
10
32 304 There, several yards away, looking toward us, was a fellow in a Cosian uniform.
Details
10
33 7 One of the bodies we had found had been that of a Cosian.
Details
10
33 8 Bounty hunters are not always particular about the heads they collect, and their paymasters usually, of course, have no way of telling the head of a fellow of Ar from that, say, of a Cosian or rencer.
Details
10
36 13 Marcus had given the Cosian uniform to one of the fellows in the hut.
Details
10
36 117 From Brundisium, a major port friendly to Cos, indeed, the port of entry for the Cosian invasion forces, it was convenient to ship loot, females and other loot, to Cos and the islands.
Details
10
36 159 I had been afraid Marcus, thinking her of Cos, and hating Cos and all things Cosian, would have cut her throat or injured her, but, fortunately, as it had turned out, she had not been of Cos, but from the vicinity of White Water, on the northern shore of the Vosk, east of Tancred's Landing.
Details
10
36 184 We then, together, continued on our way, toward Brundisium, in the vicinity of which lay the Cosian camp.
Details
10
37 1 Near the Cosian Camp "Thigh," I said.
Details
10
37 63 "Liomache," he said, "I also sold near Ar's Station, even before Temione, to a Cosian mercenary, whom she had apparently, months before, at the Crooked Tarn, tricked and defrauded".
Details
10
37 80 "The pretty Cosian, from Telnus?" "Yes," I said.
Details
10
37 287 I had not wished to bring Marcus and Ina to the wagon of Ephialtes, of course, for it was, for most practical purposes, within the Cosian camp.
Details
10
37 399 "The fellow who just used Rimice," I said, "he who made her yield so well, and in so short a time, was, I think, a Cosian".
Details
10
37 405 "She was, of course, before being reduced to animal status, before becoming a domestic animal, a Cosian," he said.
Details
10
38 13 "You refer," I said to Marcus, "to the supposedly secret news, that which is not to be posted on the boards in the Cosian camp".
Details
10
38 21 "It has to do with something which I saw this evening, returning from the sutlers' area, on the road, near the Cosian camp".
Details
10
39 104 She had once been Lucilina, the preferred slave of Myron, Polemarkos of Temos, cousin to Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos, commander of the Cosian forces in the south.
Details
10
39 111 Then, tricked and captured, she had been smuggled out of the Cosian camp, to a nearby city, to find herself there in common chains as a common girl.
Details
10
39 128 This was not difficult for most mercenaries in the vicinity of Brundisium were not quartered in the city but in the Cosian camp.
Details
10
39 176 "It is a well-known Cosian perfume," I said, "'The Chains of Telnus'".
Details
10
39 178 "Cosian masters sometimes enjoy putting women of Ar, their slaves, in it".
Details
10
40 27 In the group there were dock workers, oarsmen, merchants, mercenaries, Cosian regulars, others.
Details
10
40 29 I did not see any Cosian officers present, or anyone who looked as though they might be interested in arresting the transmission of this matter.
Details
10
40 48 "Information became available in the Cosian camp near Torcadino, conveyed by a supposed deserter, a fellow named Mincon," said our narrator, "of a secret escape tunnel being dug under the walls to the north, a low tunnel, like a countermine, over eleven pasangs in length, which had taken months to d...
Details
10
40 70 "By morning," said our narrator, "the escaping tarns had been apprehended, but in their saddles, bound and gagged, were Cosian prisoners".
Details
10
40 74 It was later determined that these were the results of the destruction of the Cosian siege materials, the war engines, the wagons and supplies, which had been captured in Torcadino".
Details
10
40 76 As it had turned out, however, Ar had sent her major forces northward, had failed to relieve the siege at Ar's Station, and then, supposedly pursuing the Cosian expeditionary force in the north, which had destroyed Ar's Station, had come to disaster in the delta.
Details
10
40 143 Indeed, it had been the port of entry for the Cosian invasion fleet.
Details
10
42 20 You risked your life by waiting for me south of the Cosian camp.
Details
10
42 88 I would not have encouraged Marcus, for example, to enter into lengthy discourse with local residents, Cosian regulars, or such.
Details
10
43 27 "Too, I gather your friend, this Ephialtes, or whatever his name may be, is a Cosian.
Details
10
43 29 "If I were you," I said, "I would not open my mouth so much in this area, at the perimeter of the Cosian camp".
Details
10
43 37 "You are just in a bad mood," I said, "because I have brought you to the edge of the Cosian camp, thus needlessly placing your life in extreme jeopardy".
Details
10
43 144 "He is a Cosian," said Marcus, looking back, murderously, at the innocent Ephialtes, who was puttering about the wagon, tightening one of the back latches of the wagon bed, I believe.
Details
10
48 12 Marcus was not in the camp, as he had hastened to the vicinity of the Cosian camp, to deal with the sutler, Ephialtes, for the slim, dark-haired beauty I had arranged, somewhat maliciously, to be sure, to be presented before him.
Details
10
48 203 "I can live for vengeance, deep and profound, terrible, vengeance against Cos and all things Cosian!" "Certainly," I said.
Details
10
48 204 I was actually a bit apprehensive that Marcus, who was something of a man of action, might rush over to the Cosian camp, slashing away at fellows doing their washing, and so on.
Details
10
48 331 "Surely you have known women in Ar," I said, "whose name was 'Phoebe'?" "It is a Cosian name," he snarled.
Details
10
48 348 Cosian women would not be sold here!" "She is from Cos," I assured him.
Details
10
48 352 Her accent was clearly Cosian.
Details
10
48 354 She was with Ephialtes, and others, moving westward along the river, with the Cosian expeditionary force.
Details
10
48 356 As for Cosian women, do not be naive.
Details
10
48 361 "She is Cosian!" he cried.
Details
10
48 362 "Cosian!" "A moment ago," I said, "you seemed much pleased with her".
Details
10
48 365 "Cosian!" he cried.
Details
10
48 368 "I hate Cos," he cried, "and all things Cosian!" "Do not be angry," I said.
Details
10
48 415 "And you are also a Cosian," he said.
Details
10
48 420 "And in that sense you are Cosian," he said.
Details
10
48 430 "I hate Cos," he said, "and all things Cosian".
Details
10
48 432 "And in the sense that you are from Cos, you are Cosian," he said.
Details
10
48 436 "And accordingly," he said, coldly, "you will be treated as an animal and a slave, and a Cosian, and as my enemy".
Details
10
48 437 "It is fitting that I be treated as an animal and a slave, Master," she said, "for that is what I am, but is it fitting that I should be treated, too, now, as a Cosian, and as your enemy?" "You will be so treated," he said.
Details
10
48 528 On her then, through you, who are Cosian, I may vent my hatred and fury".

2 63 We had learned, however, after the fall of Ar's Station, that the official rumor circulated in the south was to the effect that Ar's Station had opened its gates to the Cosian expeditionary force, this in consideration of substantial gifts of gold.
Details
10
2 71 As far as these men knew, of course, at least on the whole, the circulating rumors were correct, namely, that Ar's Station had betrayed Ar, that it was still intact and that it was now a Cosian outpost.

20 506 For example, Phoebe had a beautiful, feminine hand, but it was natural for her, and easiest for her, of course, to write in Cosian script.

10
20 507 It was not that Cosian script, was illegible, say, to folks of Ko-ro-ba or Ar, but rather that it was recognizably different.

Details
10
26 601 For example, the increasing resistance to Cosian rule in the city, the growing insurgency, the actions of the Delta Brigade, would surely have given her cause for apprehension, if not genuine alarm.
Details
10
28 103 To be sure, Cos could certainly count on those who regarded their best interests as being served by Cosian rule, and many of these were highly placed in the city, even in the Central Cylinder.
