Ma'treas

（*Matre/as), called ὁ πλάνος or λαθπλάνος, the Deceiver or Imposter, appears to have been the author of various enigmas or riddles, one of which is mentioned by Athenaeus and Suidas. He also wrote a parody of the Problems of Aristotle; for such seems to have been the nature of the work mentioned by Athenaeus. (Athen. 1.19d, with Schweighäuser's note; Suidas, s. v.) He must have been a different person from Matreas or Matron of Pitana. [MATRON.]

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.
