" Let the king sit facing the east, and the judges facing the north ; the accountant 

 looking towards the west, and the scribe towards the south : and the king sliould cause 

 gold, fire, water, and the code of law, to be placed in the midst of them, and also 

 other holy things.* 



" The rest may sit as most convenient; since there is no restriction concerning 

 their places."-|-
