Coccus

（*Ko/kkos), an Athenian orator or rhetorician, was, according to Suidas (s. v.), a disciple of Isocrates, and wrote rhetorical discourses (λόγους ῥητορικούς). A passage of Quintilian (12.10) has been thought to imply that Coccus lived at an earlier period than Isocrates and even Lysias; but it seems that Quintilian is speaking of the comparative distinction of the orators he mentions, rather than of their time.

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.
