Yes, you are subscribed -- again, after lo these many years, and
daring to follow up on a question from 17 years ago when this list was
still in its "puppy" days! Welcome back!

My own search of the archives doesn't find any follow-up on the
question.

"univira" is, I think, a not uncommon adjective of praise on epitaphs
of Roman women. There's an echo of this in the celebrated elegy of
Propertius on Cornelia:
Propertius 4.12.67-68:
filia, tu specimen censurae nata paternae,
fac teneas unum nos imitata uirum.
