Metrodo'rus

（*Mhtro/dwros), literary.

1. Of Cos, the son of Epicharmus, and grandson of Thyrsus. Like several of that family he addicted himself partly to the study of the Pythagorean philosophy, partly to the science of medicine. He wrote a treatise upon the works of Epicharmus, in which, on the authority of Epicharmus and Pythagoras himself, he maintained that the Doric.was the proper dialect of the Orphic hymns. Metrodorus flourished about B. C. 460. (Iamblich. Vit. Pyth. 100.34. p. 467, ed. Kiessling; Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. i. p. 852; Bode, Gesch. der Hellen. Dichtkunst, vol. i. p. 190.)

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.
