The house of Nebu-hin-Abenoz, like every other building in Careba, was flat-roofed, adobe-walled and window-less except for narrow rifle-slits. The wide double-gate stood open, and five or six heavily armed Caleras lounged just inside. They greeted Coru and Faru by name, and the strangers by their assumed nationality.
There was no numbering the slain; the amount is to this day conjectured only from the space of ground overflowed with blood. For without mentioning the execution done in other quarters of the city, the blood that was shed about the marketplace spread over the whole Ceramicus within the Double-gate, and, according to most writers, passed through the gate and overflowed the suburb.
Half of the wooden double-gate of the yard was open, and the other half served us as a shield. They fired as they ran at random, I think, for it was too dark for them to have seen us clearly and two bullets slapped against the gate. A third struck the wall above our heads and ricocheted off into the night.
