Evelthon

Εὐέλθων, (king of Salamis in Cyprus. When Arcesilaus III. was driven from Cyrene in an attempt to recover the royal privileges, probably about B. C. 529 or 528 [see vol. i. p. 477], his mother Pheretima fled to the court of Evelthon, and pressed him with the most persevering entreaties for an army to enforce her son's restoration. The king at last sent her a golden spindle and distaff, saying that such were the more appropriate presents for women. (Her. 4.162, 5.104; Polyaen. 8.47.)

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.
