Onestes

or ONESTUS (Ὀνέστης, Ὀνεστος The Greek Anthology contains ten epigrams, inscribed Ὀνέστου in the Vatican MS; but, as the heading of the sixth anti seventh is Ὀνέστου Κορινθίου, anld tllat of the ninth Ὀνέστου Βυζαντλου, it would seem that there were two poets of the name ; but concerning neither of them have we any further information. Brunck even suspected the correctisess of the nasmne altogether; and tholiight it might be a mistake for Ὀνεσίας, but this supposition is founded on no evidence. Wine, love, and music are the subjects of the epigrams, which are distiniguished by no particular beauty. (Brinck, Anal. vol. ii. p. 289; Jacobs, Anth. Graec. vol. iii. p. 3, vol. xiii. p. 926; Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. iv. p. 485.)

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.
