boatman

Their faith in a trustworthy and intelligent boatman was not equal to their faith in their own eyes, backed by ignorance!

If a man has hired a boatman, he shall give him six gur of corn per year.

If a boatman has grounded the ship of a man and has refloated her, he shall give money to half her price.

If a boatman has navigated a ship of sixty gur for a man, he shall give him two shekels of silver for his fee.

Then said the boatman: I will receive my life of thee if thou wilt give it me.
