“As I said, they created a decoy. But they wanted most of us to live, so we’d return to tell the Lugal. They wounded me, but they didn’t wish me to die. They wanted to distract us from the true location of their scheme. And if they saw me reach the Euphrates, then that wasn’t the actual location for their plans. Why did they do this? To create fear, and confusion. How do I know? Since I do this myself.”

One of the many sources I used for my research, both for historical details and Roman era daily life information is this one. "The Oxyrhynchus Papyri" edited by Bernard P. Grenfell and Arthur S. Hunt. From "Notes on Papyri from Early Roman Alexandria." This collection includes translations and notes on various papyri from ancient Alexandria, including legal and historical documents.
