Как переводится имя этой женщины. (если возможно, приведите ссылку).

Caia, Afrania was the wife of a senator, Licinius Buccio. The circumstance referred to is related by Valerius Maximus, (lib. 8. c. 3. n. 2,) in the following terms: "Forgetful of the modesty that becomes a femme, she pleaded her own cause in person, and annoyed the judges with a senseless clamouring -- not from any want of advocates to take her case in hand, but from excessive impudence. In consequence of this, women that were of bold front, and were forgetful of the modesty that becomes a matron, were, by way of reproach, called Afranias."

Каия Афрания

"Впрочем, вначале, несмотря на запрещение Нумы Помпилия*(188), женщины, по-видимому, выступали в судах за других лиц, так как приведенное распоряжение претора было вызвано назойливостью некоей Каии Афрании, бесстыднейшей, по словам Ульпиана, женщины, постоянно надоедавшей своими кляузами магистрату."
