We read as far as "... holding down the throne." (534.24)
Earlier in the work, Joyce had used in many places a single idea as the thread connecting a number of paragraphs/pages. For instance, the names of the rivers of the world was the thread running through pages 196 to 216.
Now it is the turn of cities to connect ideas, sentences, paragraphs and pages. The paragraph starting with Amtsadam (page 532) hints at Bucharest, Mecca, Jerusalem, Brussels, Oslo, London, Gretna Greene, New York, Stockholm, Liverpool, Tokyo, Kyoto, Athens, Belfast, Rome, Peking, Lambay Island, Frankfurt and Dublin, among others.
