on seeing her face in a> mirror she would
talk to it as though to another woman,
and that she would take partly woven
garments off the loom and put them on ;
whence came the proverb : CTTI TOIS oVAo6s
AKKi^erai. Michael Apostolius in ' Cen-
turiap. XXI Proverbiorum ' gives this proverb
at Cent. viii. 78 ; and 'Ax/ci^co-flai pot SOKCIS
-at Cent. i. 71. In the explanation of the
first-mentioned proverb Acco is said to be of
Samos. Lloyd adds that Acco is the name
of a bugbear, by fear of which mothers are
wont to keep their girls to their duty, and
frighten them from doing wrong. A some-
what similar meaning is given in Liddell and
Scott,
It is, I think, interesting to note the meanings in Modern Greek. The following are extracts from ' A Greek-English Dic- tionary,' by A. Kyriakides, Nicosia, 1892:
'A/wftfo/im, to be affected, to be coy ; to coquet.
"AKKia-jia A/v-Kttr/xb?, affectation, coyness, mincing manners ; coquetry.

DR. THOMAS FREWEN (12 S. ii. 229). In a pedigree belonging to the Frewen family Dr. Thomas Frewen is shown as son of Thankful Frewen, Rector of Northiam {born 1669, died 1749), and Sarah, daughter of Capt.

Perhaps the following extract from Chester's ' London Marriage Licences ' may help G. F. R. B. to establish the parentage of Dr. Thomas Frewen :
"Frewen, Thomas,' of Northiam, Sussex, Esq., widower, and Dame Jane Wymonsolde, of Putney, Surrey, widow, at Putney aforesaid, 15 Dec., 1681."

S. J., WATER-COLOUR ARTIST (12 S. ii. 250). The S. J. inquired for by MR. STEEDS is probably Samuel Jackson, who died in 1869. MR. STEEDS might compare the style with Jackson's ' Llanberis ' and ' View looking down the A\on ' in South Kensington Museum. W. H. QUARRELL.
MR. STEEDS does not explain the subject of the water-colour. I suggest, however, that Samuel Jackson, 1795-1870, who, living at Bristol (and a pupil of Francis Danby, A.R.A.),was elected in 1832 an Associate of the Water-Cokmr Society, may be the name of the artist sought for. It was on May 11, 1828, when Sir Walter Scott was dining with the King, that intimation was given him that the dedication of his collected novels " will be highly well taken."

WILLIAM MARSHALL, EARL or STRIGUIL (12 S. ii. 267). The name Striguil was the earlier name of Chepstow Castle, which in Domesday Survey was written Estrighoiel. Your correspondent will find much valuable information in Orrnerod's ' Strigulensia,' published in 1861, which contains a paper on ' The Identity of the Norman Estrighoiel of the Domesday Survey with the Later and Present Chepstow,' printed, with additions, from Archceologia, xxix. 25-31. He should also consult J. F. Marsh's 'Annals of Chepstow Castle; or, Six Centuries of the Lords of Striguil,' which was edited by Sir John Maclean and published in 1883. Ac- cording to the ' Complete Peerage,' vi. 200, William Marshall died at Caversham (Ox- fordshire not Berks, as stated), M;iy 14, and was buried in the new Temple Church on May 16, 1219. His will is dated 1219.
