the one example (-)
In a lovely, novelistic memoir, ``Sleeping Arrangements'' (Knopf, 195 pages, $18.95), she remembers an exotic playground, peopled [*] mainly by Jewish eccentrics and the occasional Catholic (real oddballs like her sexpot friend, the hell-kitten Diana, age five).
REL:	peopled
Arg1:	[*] -> an exotic playground
ArgM-EXT:	mainly
Arg2-by:	Jewish eccentrics and the occasional Catholic (real oddballs like her sexpot friend, the hell-kitten Diana, age five)

Populate can take an agent, but people cannot (to my mind); hence the arg numbering.
