Sy'ntrophus, P. Ruti'lius

is designated Marmorarius in an extant inscription, found at Cadiz, which records the accomplishment of a vow which he had made to erect in the temple of Minerva a Theostasis decorated with marbles, wrought by his own hand (Muratori, Thes. vol. i. p. 125.2; Orelli, Inscrip. Lat. Sel. No. 2507). It is doubtful whether the word Marmorarius signifies a sculptor, or a common worker in marble. Raoul-Rochette quotes a passage from Seneca (Epist. 88), in which it appears to have the former sense; and, of course, if such be its meaning in this inscription, the name of Syntrophus must be added to the lists of ancient artists. (R. Rochette, Lettre à M. Schorn, pp. 411. 412, 2d ed.)

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.
