Hostus Hosti'lius

1. HOSTUS HOSTILIUS, of Medullia, was the first of the Hostilian name at Rome. He married the Sabine matron Hersilia [HERSILIA], by whom he had a son, the father of Tullus Hostilius, third king of Rome. In the war that sprung from the rape of the Sabine women, Hostilius was the champion of Rome, and fell in battle. (Liv. 1.12; Dionys. A. R. 3.1. Macr. 1.6.)

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.
