Anti'crates

（Ἀντικράτης), a Spartan who, according to Dioscourides (apud Plut. Ages. 35), killed Epaminondas at the battle of Mantineia. The descendants of Anticrates are said to have been called Μαχαιρίωνες by the Lacedaemonians, on account of his having struck Epaminondas with a μαχαίρα (Plut. l.c.), but Pausanias (8.11.4) mentions Machaerion, a Lacedaemonian or Mantinean, to whom this honour was ascribed by some. Others attribute it to Gryllus, the son of Xenophon. [GRYLLUS.]

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.
