Based on the text provided, which contains the full narrative of Outlaw of Gor (Book 2) and a summary of Tarnsman of Gor (Book 1), the word "magistrate" does not appear.
While "magistrates" appeared in the previous book (Tarnsman of Gor) functioning as executioners for the Initiates, this specific passage focuses on the city of Tharna and the siege of Ar. In this text, legal and judicial authority is described differently:
In Tharna: Judgment is pronounced by the Tatrix (Queen) or the High Council of Tharna (composed of women wearing silver masks). They condemn prisoners to the mines or the "Amusements" (arena).
In Ar (during the siege): The text mentions the Initiates (who usurp control), the Council of High Castes (who eventually judge Marlenus), and Administrators (Kazrak is appointed temporary administrator).
Therefore, this specific passage says nothing about magistrates.
