VALENS Vetttius

1. Vectius Valens, one of the paramours of Messallina, who was put to death, A. D. 48. (Tac. Ann. 11.30, 31, 35; Sen. Apocol. 100.13.) He is said by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 29.5) to have given some attention to the study of eloquence, and to have founded a new sect. Haller (Bibl. Medic. Pract. vol. i.) and Sprengel (Hist. de la Méd. vol. ii.) state that he was one of the followers of Themison, but they give no authority for this assertion.

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.
