Verify Citation

Quoted text:

“There is not a single example of a mageiros, butcher-sacrificer-cook, who is not male” (Detienne 1989: pp. 131, 143). This means that in “the homology between political power and sacrificial practice,” women “are without the political rights reserved for male citizens, they are kept apart from the altars, meat, and blood.”

Can someone who has access to Detienne 1989 verify the quotations and page numbers are accurately transcribed here?
