Translation
Wife of the emperor [Septimius] Severus,1 to whom Plautian2 did many horrible disservices; for he hated her very much and slandered her to Severus, holding inquiries hostile to her and torture-sessions aimed at well-born women. Her response to this was to take up philosophy and spend her time with sophists.
