Mneme

（Μνήμη), i. e. memory, was one of the three Muses that were in early times worshipped at Ascra in Boeotia. (Paus. 9.29.2.) But there seems to have also been a tradition that Mneme was the mother of the Muses, for Ovid (Ov. Met. 5.268) calls them Mnemonides; unless this be only an abridged form for the daughters of Mnemosyne. [Comp. MUSAE.]

[L.S]

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.
