“Now, my boy, from the various intelligentsies enumerated by me it remains for me to tell you about those terrestrial types whom the other beings call ZEVROCRATS and aristocrats, who are distinguished by the cognomens given to them, such as ’emir’, ‘count’, khan’, ‘prince’, ‘melik’, ‘baron’, and so on, the consonance of which for some reason or other acts extremely pleasantly on that function of your favorites which is always very strongly expressed in them, which remains in them up to their very death and which is called ‘vanity’. 6537 XLIII

“Still, I must say that although both these types there among your favorites are called differently, yet in fact these same aristocrats and ZEVROCRATS are similar in every respect and have exactly identical inner properties. 6540 XLIII

“In the communities where a republican state organization exists, these types are called ZEVROCRATS; but where a monarchic state organization exists, they are called aristocrats. 6543 XLIII

“All the experiencings, however, of these aristocrats and ZEVROCRATS there, according to my observation, can be reduced to only three series. 6546 XLIII

“For some reason or other it also pleases them that these same ZEVROCRATS or aristocrats should also take part in these ‘puppet plays’ of theirs, and accordingly they drag them also into these ‘puppet shows’. 6553 XLIII

“And in the communities in which a ‘republican state organization’ exists they are supported with the left arm, and hence they are called ZEVROCRATS. 6556 XLIII
