Hy'patus

（*(/Upatos), the most high, occurs not only as an epithet of Zeus in poetry (Hom. Il. 8.31, 19.258), but as a real surname of the god. An altar of Zeus Hypatus existed at Athens in front of the Erechtheium; and it was not allowed to offer up to him any thing alive or libations, but only cakes. (Paus. 1.26.6, 8.2.1.) Zeus Hypatus was also worshipped at Sparta (3.17.3 ), and near Glisas in Boeotia. (9.19.3.)

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.
