Si'milis

was a centurion under Trajan, and praefectus praetorio under Hadrian, who erected a statue to his honour. Dio Cassius says that Similis received the praefecture against his will, and that he with difficulty prevailed upon Hadrian to let him resign it; but Spartianus on the contrary states, that Hadrian removed Similis from his office, although he was partly indebted to him for the empire, and appointed Septicius Clarus his successor. (D. C. 69.18, 19; Spart. Hadr. 9.）

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.
