If I do not make my 'Sage of the Assembly' feel just as important as I am, if he does not sit on a throne on a dais, furnished with a high-quality cloth cover (?), if his feet do not rest on a golden footstool, if he is not allowed by his own highest authority both to appoint and then to remove a governor from his function as governor, an official { from his charge } { (some mss. have instead:) from his function as official } { (1 ms. has instead:) from an official }, if he does not kill or blind anyone, if he does not elevate his favourite over others -- how else can he secure the provinces? |
