Query: 10. Social Justice Sanctified, From Inanna and Nanshe to Nemesis
Interchapter Query
Quoted text:
What ultimately was sacred were the law and its equitable judgment, not the person of the ruler. This is why judgeship was one of the original seeds of royal authority. Certainly the sanctification of rulers was designed to sanctify their law. [Omitted text: (In the next chapter I will discuss the case of Deioces of Ecbatana.)]
At the end of this paragraph in Chapter 10, the author originally wrote “(In the next chapter I will discuss the case of Deioces of Ecbatana.)” but this is not true of Chapter 11 (nor of Chapter 12, the next most likely spot). Can you help us add this concept to Chapter 11, or cite where in this book it is mentioned if it’s in another chapter?
