Anbar District

"Are you come from Torcadino?" asked the man.
"Yes," I said.
"Thousands of you are in the city," he said, "from Torcadino and other places."
I nodded. I had never, myself, seen Ar so crowded.
"We need no more of you refugees here," snapped a woman, a seller of suls at the Teiban Market.
"We seek lodging in the city," I said to the man.
"Lodging is dear," he said. "It is difficult to know what to tell you." He glanced at Feiqa, who put down her head. She was kneeling behind me, to my left, my pack still on her back. She had knelt when we had stopped, and begun to speak to the free person. This was appropriate, of course, for she was a slave. Her location was approximately what it had been when she had been following me, in the heeling position. "She," he said, "you could sleep in the street, chaining her by the neck to a ring, perhaps putting her in an iron belt, but that sort of thing will not do for free folks."
"No," I said.
"You could try the southern insulae," he said, "such as those below the Plaza of Tarns."
"The Anbar district?" I asked, skeptically.
"Or those of the Metellan Quarter," he said.
"What about east of the Avenue of the Central Cylinder?" I asked.
"There is the District of Trevelyan," he said.
"That sounds nice," said Boabissia.
"We would hope to survive the night," I said.
"You know the city?" he asked.
"I have been here before," I said.  MERCENARIES OF GOR-, (21) Pages 260-261

"In the Anbar district," he said.
"That is a dangerous district," I said, "even formerly." It and the district of Trevelyan were two of the most dangerous districts in Ar, even before the fall of the city.
"Oh?" he said.
"Yes," I assured him. "It is frequented by brigands."  MAGICIANS OF GOR-, (25) Pages 163-164
