Valuation rings are stable under filtered direct limits

Lemma 10.50.6. Let $I$ be a directed set. Let $(A_ i, \varphi _{ij})$ be a system of valuation rings over $I$ . Then $A = \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits A_ i$ is a valuation ring.

Proof. It is clear that $A$ is a domain. Let $a, b \in A$ . Lemma 10.50.5 tells us we have to show that either $a | b$ or $b | a$ in $A$ . Choose $i$ so large that there exist $a_ i, b_ i \in A_ i$ mapping to $a, b$ . Then Lemma 10.50.4 applied to $a_ i, b_ i$ in $A_ i$ implies the result for $a, b$ in $A$ . $\square$

(Why) Is the condition $\varphi_{ij}$ local necessary?

OK, I guess not. Thanks! Change is here.
