Note 23 — PREFACE.
Reading edition
And when it was night the king gave aid23 to two priests; these were the priests who preceded the king and the one who had charge of the lama leaves. He (the king) commanded a man to take two chickens to the priests for their support. And when it was quite dark, the king commanded the man to “Go and caution the people everywhere, and tell them to keep quiet and not make any noise, and not light any fires this night.”
