Atthis

or ATTIS (Ἄτθις or Ἄττις), a daughter of Cranaus, from whom Attica, which was before called Actaea, was believed to have derived its name. (Paus. 1.2.5.) The two birds into which Philomele and her sister Procne were metamorphosed, were likewise called Attis. (Martial, 1.54. 9, 5.67. 2.)

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.
