Eu'marus

a very ancient Greek painter of monochromes, was the first, according to Pliny, who distinguished, in painting, the male from the female, and who " dared to imitate all figures." His invention wits improved upon by Simon of Cleonae. (35.8. s. 34.) Müller (Arch. d. Kunst, § 74) supposes that the distinction was made by a difference of colouring; but Pliny's words seem rather to refer to the drawing of the figure.

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.
