Diminutive of Prisca. (See AQUILA.) A sample of what married women can do for the Lord's cause, as Phoebe is of what unmarried women can do. Timothy at Ephesus would find her counsel invaluable in dealing with the female part of his flock, his position as a young man needing delicacy and discretion in relation to them (2 Timothy 4:19; Romans 16:3; 1 Corinthians 16:19; Acts 18:2; Acts 18:26).
