Really? Unless otherwise specified, when I give page numbers they are for
the original edition, which is usually the hardback; otherwise I indicate
the chapter. The book in question here is URTH. I was citing the page
numbers in the TOR hardback, which is the same edition cited by
Andre-Driussi and Borski in their respective books. A sampling of their
relevant citations all agree with my copy. As it happens, the pagination of
the TOR mass market paperback is also the same as in the hardback.

The exact quote is: "The Hierodules they [the Hierogrammates] have found
too, and formed more quickly, to serve them in this universe." (CITADEL,
chapter XXXIV)
