Pamphos

（Πάμφως), a mythical poet, who is placed by Pausanias later than Olen, and much earlier than Homer. His name is connected particularly with Attica. Many of the ancient hymns, which were preserved by the Lycomidae, were ascribed to him : among these are mentioned hymns to Demeter, to Artemis, to Poseidon, to Zeus, to Eros, and to the Graces, besides a Linus-song. (Paus. passim; Ulrici, Gesch. d. Hell. Dichtkunst. vol. i.; Bode, Orpheus, and Gesch. d. Hell. Dichtk. vol. i.; Bernhardy, Grundriss d. Griech. Litt. vol. i. p. 248; Preller, Demeter und Persephone). It should be observed that the name is often incorrectly written Pamphus (Πάμφος), even by good scholars; but the above is the true form.

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.
