Poseido'nius

of Ephesus, a celebrated silver-chaser, who was contemporary with Pasiteles, in the time of Pompey. (Plin. Nat. 33.12. s. 55.) Pliny mentions him also among the artists who made athletes et armatos et venatores sacrificantesque, and adds to the mention of his name the words qui et argentum caelavit nobiliter (H. N. 34.8. s. 19.34). Nagler (Künstler-Lexicon) makes the singular mistake of ascribing to him the sphere of the celebrated philosopher Poseidonius, which is mentioned by Cicero (de Nat. Deor. 2.34).

[P.S]

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.
