What's the name? This is a name for a slave in the oath for Octavia Kentish. I believe the first letter to be an N or a Ph. I see eeibba. It's just not jumping out to me. Hopefully I am on the right track. :)

    I have noticed that if a name is mentioned in an oath it's either another proprietor who has died and the new proprietor has inherited the slaves, or the name is a slave who has "abandoned". I just assumed the word after the name was some form of the word abandoned. Like, abanded (which isn't a word). So I didn't even consider that being part of the name. I do see where this name could be Precilla maybe? Thank you for your insight!
