Polles

（Πόλλης). Suidas mentions (s. v. Μελάμπους), that Melampus and Polles had acquired such celebrity as diviners, that there was a current proverb, "It eeds a Melampus or a Polles to divine it." He was a native of Aegae in Asia Minor, and wrote copiously on the subject of divination in all its forms; as on the prognostications to be derived from the objects that met a traveller on his way; from what occurred at home; regarding the result of diseases; and similar subjects, for which see Suidas (s. v. Ὀιωνιστικήν, Πόλλης).

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
