Pachomius

distinguished as the YOUNGER. Among the histories published by Heribert Rosweyd (Vitae Patrum, fol. Antwerp, 1615, p. 233) is one of a certain Posthumius of Memphis, father (i. e. abbot) of five thousand monks. The MSS. have Pachomius instead of Posthumius. The truth of the whole history is, however, strongly suspected by the editors of the Acta Sanctorum, who have, nevertheless, printed it in the introduction to the account of Pachomius of Tabenna, the subject of the preceding article.

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.
