Quoted text:
Example 1:
“had administrative independence and also a separate legal status,” with unloading depots for the barges plying the waterways of the lower Tigris and Euphrates Valley river systems (Orlin 1970: pp. 25f.)
Example 2:
Orlin (1970: p. 25) added: “Through extensions of usage the term [‘karum’] also came to be employed to designate the administrative and judicial boards which supervised the business activities with which the traders were concerned.”
Example 3:
In Egypt, “The same development of meanings as in karum, originally ‘commercial settlement,’ later ‘judicial power,’ can be observed in the words ‘pharaoh’ (great house) or ‘Porte,’ originally a place where justice was executed, later ‘justice’ or the ruler himself. Cf. also the English germ ‘court,’ originally only the place where justice is dealt out” (Orlin, loc. cit., citing Gelb).Can someone help us identify the full citation for the text called “Orlin 1970” so we can add a footnote citation (and add it to the Bibliography) and help us verify the quotations?
