Sosi'nus

（*Swsi=nos), of Gortyna, in Crete, an artist or artificer, whose name is known by his sepulchral monument, on which he is designated χαλκόπγης, a term which has been explained in different ways. By comparing what little can be gathered respecting the word itself with the basrelief on the monument, Böckh and Raoul-Rochette have come to the conclusion, that the word signifies a maker of bronze shields. The monument, which is in the Museum of the Louvre, has been engraved by Bouillon (Mus. des Antiq. vol. iii. Cippes, 1.3), and the inscription is published by Böckh (Corp. Inscr. No. 837). (R. Rochette, Lettre à Schorn, pp. 405, 406, 2d ed.; comp. Welcker, Sylloge, No. 3, pp. 5-7.)

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.
