This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I suppose both men made that assumption because that is what the text says.
Sev is speaking to Ossipago on the Ship:

-----------------
"And yours [Ossipago's name] means bone-grower. You took care of Barbatus
and Famulimus when they were small, saw to it that they were fed and so on,
and you've remained with them ever since. That's what Famulimus told me
once." (URTH, chap. V, 33)
