"...and yet, despite being otherwise derivative of contemporary oral and written sources, I have discovered that the text contains a unique line, shared only with the fragment of an ancient Murine stele, recovered recently from Northern Taneta by a Leporine band [...] The anonymous author of the Ciurzo writes in Canto IV, '...his eyes were wrought in gold, and he began to shed tears of red...' The stele reads: '...[his?] eyes which were like [tarn]ished gold, and tears [?]...' A quotation. But how?"
