Andreus

（Ἀνδρεύς), a son of the river-god Peneius in Arcadia, from whom the district about Orchomenos in Boeotia was called Andreis. (Paus. 9.34.5.) In another passage (10.13.3) Pausanias speaks of Andreus (it is, however, uncertain whether he means the same man as the former) as the person who first colonized Andros. According to Diodorus (5.79) Andreus was one of the generals of Rhadamanthys, from whom he received the island afterwards called Andros as a present. Stephanus of Byzantium, Conon (41), and Ovid (Ov. Met. 14.639), call this first colonizer of Andros, Andrus and not Andreus.

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.
