E'nnia

called ENNIA THRASYLLA by Dio Cassius, and ENNIA NAEVIA by Suetonius, was the wife of Macro and the mistress of Caligula. Her husband murdered Tiberius in order to accelerate the accession of Caligula; but this emperor, like a true tyrant, disliking to see those to whom he was under obligation, put to death Ennia and her husband. (Dion. Cass. 58.28, 59.10; Tac. Ann. 6.45; Suet. Cal. 12, 26.)

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.
