So'crates

5. Of Cos, the author of a work entitled ἐπικλήσεις θεῶν. (Diog. Laert. l.c. ; Schol. ad Apoll. Rhod. 1.966; Ath. iii. p. 111b.; Schol. ad Aristoph. Eq. 959.) He is probably the writer whose treatise περὶ ὁσίων is quoted by Plutarch (de Is. et Osir. 35, p. 364f.). The exact meaning of the phrase, ἑπικλήσεις θεῶν, is doubtful. Vossius explains it as prayers to the gods, but Menagius contends that it rather means the epithets or surnames which were assigned to the several gods for various reasons. (Fabric. l.c. ; Vossius, l.c. ; Menag. ad Diog. l.c.)

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.
