  1. Praebitorae, you are a freedwoman of Rome. Your former mistress was the notable woman orator, Hortensia: "Daughter of the orator Q. Hortensius. She partook of his eloquence, and spoke before the triumvirs in behalf of the wealthy matrons, when these were threatened with a special tax to defray the expenses of the war against Brutus and Cassius."

     

    You admired and served your mistress well. For your reward she, freed you.

     

    Your slave name was "Aesyle", meaning in Greek "elusive" -- which is also the name of one of the Hyades, the nymphs that were turned into stars that bring rain. As is customary in Rome, upon manumission you adopted the name of your mistress, adding your own name on as your cognomen. Your full Roman name is:

     

    Hortensia Aesyle

    = Elenaoise ab Rhys -b +t

    Phwll (acording to the Red Book) once remarked he'd rather have daughters for the could sing bether then man .

    This remark was a grave insult becourse the Welsh where esp proud of there qual. as singers Phwll however pointed out that he had misspelled and ment with "singing" actualy using once witt.

    In Eng. Singing is often seen as blowing the whissele on someone in Welsh it is like humming seen as "thinking or considering"

    Ni Phwll is as name not ore no longer in use but called such by older people from the North of Wales means to be called a woman who uses her brains well.
