Here'nnius

2. Herennius Bassus, was one of the principal citizens of Nola in Campania. The ruling order in Nola was Sabellian (Liv. 9.28; Strab. v. p.249); but from its zealous emulation of Cumae and Neapolis, Nola was almost a Greek city (Dionys. A. R. 15.5. fragm. Mai), and thence may have proceeded its staunch preference of a Roman to a Carthaginian alliance: for Herennius was the spokesman of his fellow-citizens when, in B. C. 215, they rejected Hanno's proposals to revolt to Hannibal. (Liv. 23.43.)

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.
