Sosis
(
*Sw=sis), a Sicilian medallist, whose name appears, in the abbreviated form
ΣΩΣ, on the front of the diadem of a female head, which is the type of a small Syracusan medallion; and also in full,
ΣΩΣΙΣ, on a medal of Gelon II. in the Pembroke cabinet.
The admission of this name into the list of ancient artists is, however, a matter of controversy. (R. Rochette,
Lettre à M. Schorn, pp. 96, 97.)
