Ca'llias I.

2. CALLIAS I., son of Phaenippus and probably nephew of the above, is mentioned by Herodotus (6.121) as a strong opponent of Peisistratus, and as the only man in Athens who ventured to buy the tyrant's property on each occasion of his expulsion. On the same authority, if indeed the chapter be not an interpolation (6.122; see Larcher, ad loc.), we learn, that he spent much money in keeping horses, was a conqueror at the Olympic and Pythian games, at the former in B. C. 564 (Schol. ad Aristoph. Av. 283), and gave large dowries to his daughters, allowing them--a good and wise departure from the usual practice--to marry any of the Athenians they pleased.

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.
