Pra'xias

2. A vase-painter, whose name appears on one of the Canino vases, on which the education of Achilles is represented. The name, as reported by M. Orioli, the discoverer of the vase, is Πραχίας, ΠΡΑ + ΙΑΣ, a proper name, so totally unknown, as to raise a strong suspicion that the name has either been miswritten or misread, and that it ought to be ΠΡΑ + ΣΙΑΣ. There is a similar diversity in the name of the vase-painter Exechias. (Raoul-Rochette, Lettre à M. Schorn, p. 57. Comp. pp. 44, 45, and De Witte, in the Revue de Philologie, 1847, vol. ii. p. 422.)

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.
