Ptolemaeus

20. A rhetorician of Alexandria, who was employed as ambassador by Ptolemy Euergetes II. to Antiochus Epiphanes when the latter was besieging Alexandria, B. C. 170 (Plb. 28.16). He is perhaps the same person with the brother of Comanus, whom we find accompanying that minister on his embassy to Rome in B. C. 162. (Id.31.27.)

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.
