"At a gesture from the proprietor, the grimy man in the tunic of white and gold, one of the serving slaves, with a flash of her ankle bells, hurried to the Assassin and set before a bowl, which she trembling filled from the flask held over her forearm. Then, with a furtive glance at the girl chained at the side of the room, the serving slave hurried away. Kurrus took the paga bowl in both hands and put his head down, looking into it."

".. the vessel makes it quicker to get to each Master, hence He gets His drink faster. They can be silver, bronze..any number of metals. some have two handles, some have straps to be held over your shoulder.."
Slave Girl of Gor
"The collared softness of the dark-haired girl well set off the the metal of the tray, and the small multicolored glasses and bottles upon it."
Guardsman of Gor page 254
"From a spout on the vessel, grinning, Gorm filled the golden cup."
Marauders of Gor pages 83
"She held the cup. It was decorated; about its sides, cunningly wrought, was a design, bond-maids, chained. A chain design also decorated the rim, and, at five places on the cup, was the image of a slave whip, five-strapped."
Marauders of Gor page 84
"I held up the large drinking horn of the north. 'There is no way for this to stand upright,' I said to him, puzzled. He threw back his head again and roared once more with laughter. 'If you cannot drain it,' he said, 'give it to another!' I threw back my head and drained the horn."
Marauders of Gor page 89
"I had carried about bowls of cut, fried fish, and wooden trays of roated tarsk meat, and roasted gants, threaded on sticks, and rence cakes and porridges, and gourd flagons, many times replenished, of rence beer."

"I threw a silver tarsk, taken from what we had obtained from the slavers in the marsh, to the proprietor of the paga tavern, and took in return one of the huge bottles of paga, of the sort put in the pouring sling, and reeled out of the tavern, making my way along the narrow walkway lining the canal. toward the quarters taken by my men Thurnock and Clitus, with our slaves."
Raiders of Gor page 111
"Before we set out we broke open the great bottle of paga, and Thurnock, Clitus and I clashed goblets and emptied them of their swirling fires."

"It would have been stored overnight, I assumed, in an amphora, buried to the neck in the cool earth. Sometimes EArth girls, first brought to Gor, do not understand why so many of these two-handled, narrow-necked vessels have such a narrow, usually pointed base, for they cannot stand upright on such a base. They have not yet learned that these vessels are not intended to stand upright. Rather they are commonly fitted into a storage hole, buried there to keep their contents cool, the necks above the earth. The pointed base, of course, presses into the soft earth at the storage hole."
Mercenaries of Gor page 257
"She knelt near the table... and put the paga, in a small kantharos"
Renegades of Gor page 71
"Many civilians, I believe, do not know why certain warriors,by habit, request their paga in metal goblets when dining in public houses."
Renegades of Gor page 77
"The girls filled their vessels, which, like the hydria, or water vessel, are high-handled, for dipping, in a large kettle hung simmering over a fire near the entrance to the enclosure.
