In one place we read that the relation in question lasts for life; in another place we are [116] told[328] that the old men watch over the Pirraurus in order that there may result no trouble from mutual jealousy; and if a man has too many Pirraurus they compel or advise him to limit himself to one or two. No answer can be given, therefore, to this question.
