As it would take the whole day to reach Naucratis, everyone settled down to a leisurely time on the top deck. Myrine and Iola sat together, Myrine with her embroidery, Iola with a scroll of Herodotus which she had managed to extract from Strabo. Strabo himself sat with Gallus and Chaeremon near the bow. Dexios and Thestor were strolling up and down the length of the barge, arguing about some family matter. Prokles sat by himself, making notes on scraps of papyrus, pausing every now and again to enjoy the sights as the barge passed various little settlements, the children laughing and splashing in the Nile and waving at the Gloria Aegyptae as she passed by.

Kaires went to the stern, where Aristeon was sitting with Haemon, engaged in a game of senet. He watched them for a few moments, as Aristeon threw the knuckle bones and moved his piece further up the track.
