Author’s Note: 5
The following author’s note (without an introduction or transition characteristic of his writing throughout The Creation of Order) appeared at the end of Chapter 12. Can you help us work its contents into the body of this chapter to be consistent with the rest of The Creation of Order? And can you help us add transitions/explanations around the quotations? A new section (perhaps on military dynamics) in Chapter 12 may be created for it to work.

Regarding military dynamics, “The dimensions of the allotments gradually diminished, since they were divided among the heirs.” Each “was obliged to serve the king from his share.” This “led to the ruin of the military colonists. Hence, in the fifth and fourth centuries BC the Achaemenids had to rely in their military policy primarily on mercenaries, and not on the owners of the allotments, who did not always even have military equipment.”Verify CitationCan someone with access to whatever text this is from check the quotations and add page numbers for full citations?
