Aure'lia Orestilla

a beautiful but profligate woman, whom Catiline married. As Aurelia at first objected to marry him, because he had a grown-up son by a former marriage, Catiline is said to have killed his own offspring in order to remove this impediment to their union. (Sal. Cat. 15, 35 ; Appian, App. BC 2.2; comp. Cic. Fam. 9.22.) Her daughter was betrothed to the younger Corniticius in B. C. 49. (Caelius, apud Cic. ad Fam. 8.7.)

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.
