That footnote I was looking for was actually at the top of the text, and not the bottom of the text, which is why I couldn't find it. It just said "The final section is parodied in I.6" (I.6 is Sargon, Lord of the Lies) in this edition.

I was able to read this book thanks to the Michigan statewide state-wide interlibrary loan service called MeLCat, which may be in danger thanks to a Presidential executive order. If you, like me, enjoy using MeLCat, contact your local representatives and let them know.
