Dosi'adas

（*Dwsia/das), of Rhodes, the author of two enigmatic poems in the Greek Anthology, the verses of which are so arranged that each poem presents the profile of an altar, whence each of them is entitled Δωσιάδα βωμός. (Brunck, Anal. 1.412; Jacobs, 1.202.) The language of these poems is justly censured by Lucian. (Lexiph. 25.) Dosiadas is also one of the authors to whom the " Egg of Simmias" is ascribed. [BESANTINUS.] The time at which he lived is unknown. (Fabric. Bibl. Graec. 3.810-812; Jacobs, Anth. Graec. vii. pp. 211-224, xiii. pp. 888, 889.)

[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.
