Aristoni'cus

4. Of Alexandria, a contemporary of Strabo (i. p.38), distinguished himself as a grammarian.

Aristonicus is mentioned as the author of several works, most of which related to the Homeric poems.--

1. On the wanderings of Menelaus (περὶ τῆς Μενελάου πλάνης

Strab. l.c.).

2. On the critical signs by which the Alexandrine critics used to mark the suspected or interpolated verses in the Homeric poems and in Hesiod's Theogony. (Περὶ τῶν σημείων τῶν τῆς Ἰλιάδος καὶ Ὀδυσσείας

Etym. M. s. vv. λύχνος, ἔρσαι and ὀπή; Suidas, s. v. Ἀριστόνικος; Eudoc. p. 64; Schol. Venet. ad Hom. Il. 9.397.)

3. On irregular grammatical constructions in Homer

consisting of six books ἀσυντάκτων ὀνομάτων βιβλία; Suidas, 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.
