Ni'cias

2. A native of Nicopolis, in the second century after Christ, introduced by Plutarch in his Symposiaca (7.1.1), as one of the speakers in the discussion, whether what is drunk enters the lungs. Nicias rightly maintained that it did not.

The writer on stones, Περὶ Λίθων, quoted by Plutarch (Parall. § 13, De Fluv. 20.4) and Stobaeus (Floril. tit. 100.12. p. 541), is a different person, and does not appear to have been a physician, though so classed by Fabricius (Bibl. Gr. vol. xiii. p. 346, ed. vet.)

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.
