[68]
Well then,
after her death I went to the Interpreters1 in order to learn what I ought to do in the
matter, and I related to them all that had taken place: the coming of these men,
the devotion of the woman, why it was that I kept her in my house, and that she
had met her end because she would not surrender the cup. When the Interpreters
had heard all this from me, they asked me whether they should interpret the law
for me and nothing more, or should also advise me.
1 A traditional, rather than official, body of men from the old noble families, who alone could interpret the unwritten laws governing matters of ceremonial and religious observance.
