Ci'pius

a person who gave rise to the proverb "non omnibus dormio," was called Pararenchon (παραρέγχων), because he pretended to be asleep, in order to give facility to his wife's adultery. (Festus, s. v. Non omnibus dormio; Cic. Fam. 7.24.) There are two coins extant with the name M. CIPI. M. F. upon them, but it is not impossible that they may belong to the Cispia gens, as the omission of a letter in a name is by no means of uncommon occurrence on Roman coins.

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.
