Salo'me

4. Daughter of Herodias by Herod Philip, son of Herod the Great, was the maiden who pleased Herod Antipas by her dancing, and obtained from him the execution of John the Baptist. She was twice married-1st to her uncle Philip, the tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, who died childless; and 2d, to her cousin Aristobulus, son of Herod king of Chalcis [ARISTOBULUS, No. 6.], by whom she had three sons (Matt. 14.3-12 ; Mark, 6.17-29; J. AJ 18.5. §§ 2, 4). The legendary account of her death, as given by Nicephorus in his Ecclesiastical History (1.20), is a very clumsy invention.

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.
