Tertia, daughter of Isidorus the mime

also: Tertia, Tertia, Isidori mimi filia

Tertia, the daughter of the mime-actor Isidorus, carried off by Verres from a Rhodian flute-player; she became his last and most influential mistress in Sicily (compared by Cicero with Chelidon at Rome and with Pipa at Syracuse, Verr. 2.3.78; 2.5.31). She made the wives of Verres's Syracusan accomplices resent her presence.
