Silva'nus, Gra'nius

tribune of a praetorian cohort under Nero, was commissioned by the emperor, on the detection of the conspiracy of Piso, A. D. 65, to demand from the philosopher Seneca an explanation of certain suspicious words which he was charged with having spoken to Antonius Natalis. Silvanus himself was involved in the conspiracy; and though he was acquitted, he put an end to his own life (Tac. Ann. 15.60, and 50, 71). Orelli, in his edition of Tacitus, reads Gavius Silvanus instead of Granius Silvanus.

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.
