Take new chese, and grynde hyt fayre In morter wyth egges, wyth out dyswayre; Put powder berto of suger I say, Coloure hyt wyth safrone ful wele bou may; Put hyt in cofyns bat bene fayre, And bake hyt forthe y the pray." Sloane MS. 1986, f. 87. In the North the word is still in use, as Bp. Kennett noticed in his Glossarial Collec-tions, Lansd. MS. 1033. " Flaun or flawn, a custard. Bor. As flat as a flawn, prov. Sax. flyna, flsena, artologanum." This must not be confounded with the general appellation of flat fish; the ray or scate was formerly called Flathe, or, according to Willughby and Ray, flaire, still retained in the name of the sting-ray, called in some places the fire-flaire. In N. Britain it is known as the fire-flaw, according to Jamieson. Harrison, in his description of England, uses the name flath, evidently as denoting the ray or scate. In the account Flee. Pulex.
