Teiban Sul Market

I looked wildly about.
I saw no signs now of the crowd and the animals.
I stood at the northwestern corner of the Teiban SuI Market, at the intersection of Teiban and Clive. I had come west from the avenue of the Central Cylinder, on Clive.
I looked back up Clive. I saw no signs of the crowd and animals.
I began to breathe more easily.
By now, surely, they would have been coming west on Clive. They must have lost my trail.
"Suls, Turpah, Vangis" I heard a woman call, sitting amidst baskets, hawking her produce.
I had gone to the avenue of the Central Cylinder and had kept to busy streets in the hope that the .sleen would lose my scent, it being mingled with that of so many others.
Now it seemed I had been successful.
Then, from some two hundred yards away, I heard the shrill, excited squeal of one of the animals. I looked wildly south, down the Boulevard of Teiban. The sleen, and those with them, had come west on Venaticus. As Clive borders the Teiban Market on the north, so Venaticus borders it on the south. To my horror, I saw the sleen, and the crowd, turning right, north on Teiban. They were proceeding toward me. I did not understand this. Why had they not come down Clive? Then, suddenly, sick, I remembered that I had, two days ago, taken Venaticus west to Teiban. It must be that trail, two days old, that they were following. I swiftly fled west, continuing on Clive. In a few minutes I had come to Clive and Hermadius. It was on Hermadius, less than an Ahn ago, that I had first seen the sleen. I continued west on Clive, and turned left, south, on Emerald. This street, like Hermadius, leads to the Plaza of Tarns. But I was not seeking the Plaza of Tarns and the agency. I turned right, off Emerald, when I came to Tarn-Gate Street. This is the street which leads directly between Ar's west gate, called the Tarn Gate, and the Plaza of Tarns.  KAJIRA OF GOR-, (19) Pages 314-315

"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.  MERCENARIES OF GOR-, Page 260

We were at Teiban and Venaticus, at the southwest corner of the Teiban Sul Market. It was morning, the eight Ahn, on the second day of the week. Naturally there were many folks about in such a place, at such a time.  MAGICIANS OF GOR-, (25) Page 244

"You would be fortunate if you managed to get the stone as far as the Teiban Market," I said. "If I did not know your skill with the sword, I would have placed a bet you would not get it as far as Clive." This street actually entered the Avenue of the Central Cylinder, from the west.  MAGICIANS OF GOR-, (25) Page 350
