Damia

The venerable Damia, her son Porphyrius, and the fair Gorgo were in fact a trio such as are rarely met with.

Meanwhile she thought over Marcus' startling speech, Damia's injunctions and Herse's warnings.

Damia had looked after him in silence and had ever afterwards avoided mentioning his name in Gorgo's presence.

Damia had sent a slave-girl down to say that they might leave off work and rest till next day if they chose.

The waiting-woman proceeded to pick them up: but Damia again became unconscious.
