Xenarchus

（*Ce/narxos), an Achaean, who was sent to Rome as an ambassador by the Achaeans, for the purpose of renewing their alliance with the Romans, and of superintending the progress of the negotiations with reference to the Lacedaemonians. He was surprised into affixing his signature to the agreement drawn up on the latter subject at the suggestion of Flamininus. (Plb. 24.4.) He found means to enter into friendly relations with Perseus; and it was when he was general of the Achaeans (B. C. 174), that Perseus got his letter about the runaway slaves of the Achaeans laid before the assembly. (Liv. 41.28.)

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.
