During the second year, my duties grew on the ship, and soon I was salting as well as navigating Anaximander took great pride in this. His daughter, who was twelve when I had first arrived, had been married off to a very respectable boy who helped a scholar.
While I only stayed there shortly because I appeared to be so young Anaximander thought of me as a son. Thusly my accomplishments he naturally thought of as his own. He would even brag to me about how when I was found I couldn't even speak.
Anaximander's daughter Leto married the scholars assistant Callicles in the summer. Much like Anaximander, Callicles took an interest in me. Not only when courting Leto but even after the marriage he often would offer lessons in writing and arithmetic or even just bring wine so the could drink and discus things his master might have said.
Still the second year was not an easy one. By the end of it I could read and write a little and had enough understanding of maps to guide the ships, the winter was tough and many had not properly prepared.
