Hospita'lis

the guardian or protector of the law of hospitality. We find the title of dii hospitales as applied to a distinct class of gods, though their names are not mentioned. (Tac. Ann. 15.52; Liv. 39.51; Ov. Met. 5.45.) But the great protector of hospitality was Jupiter, at Rome called Jupiter hospitalis, and by the Greeks Ζεὺς ξένιος. (Serv. ad Aen. 1.140; Cic. ad Q. frat. 2.12; Horn. Od. 14.389.)

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.
