I have upon occasion mentioned an officer named Pertinax, a friend, it seems, of Tarl Cabot, the commander, or captain, of the tarn cavalry. - (Mariners of Gor, Chapter 17, Sentence #40)

I did not know how much they knew of our venture, of the course, of the incidents at the warning ship, and such. Did they know that war had been done on this very deck, now sanded and smoothed clean? Did they know of the fleet of Lord Yamada? Did they understand that these waters, so glasslike, so serene, might be fraught with peril? I supposed not. Would one explain such things to verr or kaiila? Curiosity is not becoming in a kajira. I have upon occasion mentioned an officer named Pertinax, a friend, it seems, of Tarl Cabot, the commander, or captain, of the tarn cavalry. He had been, for example, this Pertinax, captain on one of the galleys lost in the Vine Sea, that on which I had shared an oar with Licinius Lysias, the fellow from Turmus. In any event, when the first group of the Venna keeping area was brought for its airing and exercise to the open deck, this Pertinax was usually about, interestingly, seemingly preoccupied with one duty or another. It was not difficult, after a time or two, to detect that his presence at such times was not likely to be a matter of coincidence. - (Mariners of Gor)
