Sibylla is one of Apollo's Oracles who had the boon of living as old as the number of grains of sand in her hand. She spoke her riddles through word puzzles. Diana is the Roman god of the moon, chastity and purity.
The referral means the if Portia did not get the husband as mentioned in her father's will, she would have to live her long life chaste till her death.
