Are slaves at the public and private baths. They wear a chain and plate collar. The plate
gives their name and cost. They wear towels with nothing beneath them. While swimming, many wrap a long broad strap of glazed leather about their heads like a turban. The bath girls are there for the pleasure of men. Sometimes the girls will pretend to swim away from the men and try to escape but are easily caught by the men.

This is done on purpose as most girls could easily avoid the men if they wished. They become excellent swimmers. It is said they are more at ease in the water than a Cosian song fish.
