Sora'nus

2. A native of Mallus in Cilicia ¹, whose date is unknown, but wno is mentioned by Suidas as one of the "more ancient" physicians (πρεσβύτει οι). He appears to have been eminent in his profession ; and as he lived after the time of Hippocrates, he may perhaps be placed in the fourth or third century B. C. (Suid. s. v. Σωρανός.)

1 * Haller seems to consider this Soranns to be the same as one of the following (Bibl. Medic. Pract. vol. i. p. 207), but probably without sufficient reason.

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.
