Oeno'trus

（*Oi)/nwtros), the youngest son of Lvcaon who emigrated with a colony from Arcadia to Italy, and called the district in which he settled, after himself, Oenotria (Paus. 8.3.2; Verg. A. 1.532, 3.165, 7.85; Strab. vi. p.253, &c.). According to Varro, he was a king of the Sabines, and not a Pelasgian, and his brother was called Italus (Serv. ad Aen. 1.536). According to Dionysius (1.1l, &100.2.1), Oenotrus was accompanied by his brother Peucetius, and landed in the bay of Ausonia.

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.
