sibyl

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a sorceress' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'as sybil said she's' is the wordplay.
'sybil' can be anagrammed to 'SIBYL'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sibyl that I've seen before include "Woman mouthpiece of a god, uttering prophecies" , "Charmer" , "Greek prophetess" , "Seer in classical times" , "Greek oracle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
