Orfitus

1. Ser. Cornelius Orfitus, consul in A. D. 51, with the emperor Claudius (Tac. Ann. 12.41 ; Plin. Nat. 2.31; and the inscription in Fabrettus, p. 472). In A. D. 66 Orfitus proposed. in honour of the imperial family, that the month of June should for the future be called Germanicus (Tac. Ann. 16.12). It would appear, from an incidental notice in Tacitus (Tac. Hist. 4.42), that Orfitus perished not long after this, by an accusation of the informer Aquillius Regulus.

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.
