Sci'pio

28. Cn. Cornelius Scipio Hispallus, son of No. 27, was sent along with Scipio Nasica Serapio [No. 24], in B. C. 149, to demand from the Carthaginians the surrender of their arms (Appian, Pun. 80). He was praetor, B. C. 139, when he published an edict that all Chaldaeans (i. e. astrologers) should leave Rome and Italy within ten days (V. Max. 1.3.2). Valerius Maximus (l.c.) calls him Caius; whence Pighius makes him the brother of the Hispallus mentioned by Appian, but it is far more probable that there should be a mistake in Valerius Maximus of C. for Cn. than that he should have borne a praenomen which does not occur elsewhere in the family of the Scipios.

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.
