Praxitas

（*Praci/tas), a Lacedaemonian, who, in B. C. 393, was stationed as polemarch, with his mora, at Sicyon. The Corinthians, Pasimelus and Alcimanes, being desirous of restoring Corinth to her connection with Lacedaemon, of-fered to admit Praxitas by night within the long walls that joined Corinth with Lechaeum. In this they succeeded, and in the engagement which took place next day with the Argive forces, the Lacedæmonians slaughtered great numbers of the latter. After this victory, Praxitas, having been joined by his allies, demolished the long walls, and then crossing the isthmus, took and garrisoned Sidus and Crommyon. (Xen. Helen. 4.4.7-13.)

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.
