Basili'na

the mother of Julian the apostate, being the second wife of Julius Constantius, brother of Constantine the Great. She is believed to have been the daughter of Anicius Julianus, consul in A. D. 322, and afterwards prefect of the city. Her marriage took place at Constantinople, and she died in 331, a few months after the birth of her only son. From this princess the city of Basilinopolis in Bithynia received its name. (Ammian. Marcellin. 25.3; Liban. Orat. xii. p. 262; Not. eccl. Hierocl. p. 692.) See the genealogical table prefixed to the article CONSTANTINUS MAGNUS.

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.
