Timo'nides

（Τιμωνίδης), accompanied Dion into Sicily, and fought on his side. On one occasion, when Dion had been wounded while fighting against the mercenaries of Dionysius, and was obliged to retire from the combat, he appointed Timonides to the command of his troops. The history of Dion's wars in Sicily was related by Timonides in some letters to the philosopher Speusippus, which are quoted by Plutarch and Diogenes Laertius. (Plut. Dion. cc. 22, 30, 31, 35; D. L. 4.5, where Τιμωνίδης must be read mstead of Σιμωνίδης; C. Müller, Fragam. Historic. Graec. vol. ii. p. 83, Paris, 1848.) The Scholiast on Theocritus (1.63) quotes a work on Sicily by Simonides, where Timonides is probably likewise the correct reading. In the article SIMONIDES (p. 836b) an error has been committed, which may be corrected from the preceding account.

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.
