²⁰ This is an expression in Latin, used pejoratively for ‘accomplices.’

²¹ A possible reference to Memórias Póstumas de Bras Cubas (1881), by Brazilian writer Machado de Assis (1839-1908), “decifra-me ou devoro-te” (Chapter II), which in turn could be a reference to the Sphinx who would devour those who failed to answer a riddle correctly, in Oedipus the King (c.429 BC) by Sophocles (c.497-406 BC).

²² French for “leader.”

²³ Lobato is referring to the female of the Sabines (Sabinos in Portuguese), originally “an Italic people who lived in the central Apennine Mountains of the ancient Italian Peninsula, also inhabiting Latium north of the Anio before the founding Rome.” (Wikipedia)
