(The chief of staff and another Captain dismount and taking tête-d'or's horse by the bridle they lead him to the place where cassius stood.
The Chief of Staff: Look, O King, and take, for all that you see is yours.
And the earth is yours like a field of which the extent has been measured.
Look! Yonder the ocean lies, flat and enclosed, a round mirror. For here
Toiling upwards we have reached the level of the world and here the ascent is over.
"The Door" this place is called, for here in ancient times, the wandering peoples of the Plain, at this high pass,
Halted to sacrifice, as the bones will testify, offering fire to the gods of Space,
Before they crossed the dark defile and began the perilous descent,
Forming nations according to the hollows of the earth.
