O'xylus

2. A son of Haemon (according to Apollod. 2.8.3, of Andraemon), and husband of Pieria, by whom he became the father of Aetolus and Laias. IIe was descended from a family of Elis, but lived in Aetolia; and when the Dorians invaded Peloponnesus, they, in accordance with an oracle, chose him as one of their leaders. He afterwards became king of Elis, which he conquered. (Paus. 5.3, in fin. 4.1, &c.; Aristot. Pol. 6.2 § 5; Strab. viii. p.333.)

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.
