\nThey chattered.1 Likewise, they were often arrogant; each one had his own opinion; they made little of and held in no esteem the riches and prosperity of others. Indeed, each one alone wished to be best; each one thought himself a lord, a superior person; each one thought of himself as the only one, the best. Each spoke for himself; none would talk to them or say a word in their behalf, unless he were a vanguard merchant, one who knew distant lands; unless he were very rich, dealt in goods in his house or were a buyer of slaves,2 a ceremonial bather of captives to be sacrificed; unless in his house were carrying frames stuffed and creaking; unless in his house one drank from black jars, gourd vessels, etc.
\nThis was because each one of the merchants himself placed things in the sun at his own house on the day sign Four Wind.
