Ben Hur page 5 by ric Gustafson
Judah walked toward Arrius. The tribune noticed the black curled handsome rower. " I hear from the hortatory that you are the best rower on the ship".
Judah grinned. " He is too kind".
" How long have you been on the oars?".
" Three years".
The young tribune shook his head. " Most men don't last a year". He shook Judah's hand. " My name is Tribune Quintus Arrius". He grinned. " And you are?".
" I am the son of Ithamar of the house of Hur".
" A son of Hur?". His voice hesitated. " How did you become a slave?".
" I was accused of trying to kill procurator Valerius Gratus".
Arrius's eyes widened. " That was you?".
" Yes".
" You can go back down below".
