Sosi'crates

（Σωσικράγης), literary.

1. A comic poet, whose time is unknown. Pollux quotes twice from his play entitled Παρακαταθήκη (Poll. 9.57, 4.173; in both passages the name is corrupted ; in the former into Ἱπποκράγης, in the latter into Κράγης; but in the latter passage a manuscript has Σωσικράγης). His Φιλάδελφοι also is cited by Athenaeus (xi. p. 474a.); and there are some other quotations from unknown plays of his. (Ath. i. p. 31e.; Stob. Flor. 23.2 ; Maxim. Conf. p. 198, Gesner.) From the titles of his plays, Meineke thinks it more probable that he belonged to the New Comedy than to the Middle. (Meineke, Frag. Coin. Graec. vol. i. pp. 498, 499, vol. iv. pp. 591, 592; Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. ii. p. 495.)

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.
