Jose'phus

2. Of ARIMATHEA. There is an ancient tradition that Joseph of Arimathea was sent by the apostle Philip to preach the gospel in Britain; and this tradition was gravely urged at the council of Constance, A. D. 1414, in a dispute between the representatives of the French and English churches for the eminence of their respective establishments. Some writers, for instance Bale, have ascribed to Joseph of Arimathea Epistolae quaedam ad Ecclesias Britannoruma ; but there is great doubt whether any such writings ever existed, and still greater doubt as to their genuineness. (Fabric. Bibl. Gr. vol. v. p. 59; Cod. Apoeryph. Novi Test. Pars iii. p. 506; Ittigius, Biblioth. Patrum Apostol. Dissertat. 100.13.)

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.
