Life events

Gambaruk condemned the decree and urged choosing by lot who should leave, with the strong offering to replace the weak.(Book Eight · Part 15)
- “Condemning the decision of the assembly, she said that it was wrong to relieve distress by murder of kindred, and declared that a plan both more honourable and more desirable for the good of their souls and bodies would be, to preserve respect towards their parents and children, and choose by lot men who should quit the country.”
The assembly assented to Gambaruk's proposal, and those chosen by lot were doomed to banishment.(Book Eight · Part 15)
- “These words were reported to the assembly, and assented to by the vote of the majority. So the fortunes of all were staked upon the lot and those upon whom it fell were doomed to be banished.”
