Phocus

（*Fw=kos).

1. A son of Ornytion of Corinth, or according to others of Poseidon, is said to have been the leader of a colony from Corinth into the territory of Tithorea and Mount Parnasss, which derived from him the name of Phocis. (Paus. 2.4.3, 29.2, 10.1.1.) He is said to have cured Antiope of her madness, and to have made her his wife (9.17.4).

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.
