Civitatis Ar, Plus!

Carnarium

"Only this morning I was at the sun gate," I told him, "where the current lists are posted, the intent of which is to preclude such fraud as you would perpetrate."
"No," he said.
"The series of this ostrakon," I said, "was discontinued, probably months ago."
"No," he said.
"You could have retrieved from a carnarium," I said. This was one of the great refuse pits outside the walls.
I broke the ostrakon in two and cast the pieces into the fire.
"Begone," I said to the fellow.  MAGICIANS OF GOR-, (25) Page 38

"Nor do I fear," said the brawny fellow, "the legions of Cos, nor her adherents or spies! I am of Ar!" He then strode between the ropes of the stone, which rested upon a plank, itself resting on tow huge terra-cotta vats, of the sort into which slop pots in insulae are dumped. Such vats are usually removed once or twice a week, emptied in one carnarium or another, outside the walls, rinsed out and returned to the insulae. Companies have been organized for this purpose.  MAGICIANS OF GOR-, (25) Page 66
