8	148	The fellow who stood by the table, scarcely noticing the girl, placed a tarsk bit in her mouth, and she fled back to the counter where, under the eye of a paga attendant, she spit the coin into a copper bowl.	10
10	108	For a tarsk bit I purchased one of the discarded sheets torn from the slave beauties who were still being sold from the block.	10
