This exchange between Frana and the Magy is really riveting… but I wonder, how was this conversational exchange known if it was just the Magy, the Magys chieftains and Frana? Who would have been there to remember she said this? Some kind of psychic channeling or something?
Things like this make it seem a bit improbable and more like a fictional tale.

How do they know this was spoken?
Re: How do they know this was spoken?
Good question.
It does not explicitly say only the Magy and his chieftains could hear Frana.
Someone like the Danish skipper (someone from the ship's crew) may have been at hearing distance as well.
Also, one of the chieftains may have been so impressed that he told others about what he had witnessed afterwards.

Yeah that’s true. No way to know I guess.
I appreciate all the work you do here! I really want it to be authentic!

For me, its language and spirit are the best evidence.
Re: How do they know this was spoken?
It reminds me of this; (from; Bilderalbum Deutsche Geschichte 1875)
-"Is it one of those sanctified women of Germania who from the earnest, aware soul of her People uttered profetic words, or a construct of fantasy that birthed through the grey of the lonely forrest and the river travelled by no roman ever,( or what else is it that in such admonishing fearsomeness, so noble and poignant confronts the young general, calls him a BACK! his face, not fear but contemplative melancholy and a sense of impending death splicing through the hero's soul? (..) or Germania herself, protective spirit of the homeland that admonishes him not to hurt the ground that is never to be without refuge for freedom?
(...)
On the bank of the Elbe according to Roman legend a woman of superhuman proportion stepped up to Drusus and shouted in Latin; 'where do you want to go you unsatisfiable Drusus? Fate has not granted you to see all this. Go forth! For your deeds and life's end is near!' "-
Shocked Drusus turned, after erecting trophies on the bank. On his way back he died after a 30day torment from illness or a broken leg from a fall from his horse in his thirtiest year. An honormound and arc were erected for him and Ceasar bestowed the name Germanicus on him and his children.
