Cro'bylus

（*Krw/bulos), an Athenian comic poet, who is reckoned among the poets of the new comedy, but it is uncertain whether he really belonged to the middle or the new. About his age we only know for certain, that he lived about or after B. C. 324, but not how long after. Some writers have confounded him with Hegesippus. [HEGESIPPUS.] The following titles of his plays, and a few lines, are extant: Ἀπαγχόμενος, Ἀπολιποῦσα, Ψευδυποβολιμαῖος (Athen. 3.109d., 107,e., vi. p. 248b., 258, b. c., viii. p. 364f., ix. p. 384c., x. p. 429d., 443, f.; Meineke, Frag. Common. Graec. i. pp. 490, 491, iv. pp. 565-569.)

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.
