Seped the boatman
He has brought more barges round the cataract than anyone alive, and will tell you about each of them.
Where to find
Overheard
The river's up! Sixteen cubits, Khnumhotep says. I don't know what a cubit is, but I know a good flood when I'm sailing on one.
The cataract boatmen are running the rapids again. Show-offs.
Through the rapids? Not in my boat. We carry it round, like sensible people.
The river's low for the flood season. Lower every day. Khnumhotep at the Nilometer looks ill about it.
The ferry's free for honest folk. I've never met any, but I live in hope.
