Lae'lius De'cimus

2. Son probably of the preceding, impeached L. Flaccus for extortion in his government of Asia Minor B. C. 59. (Cic. pro Flacc. 1, 6; Schol. Bob. pro Flacc. p. 228, Orelli.) [VALERIUS FLACCUS, No. 15.] In the civil wars B. C. 49, Laelius commanded a detachment of Cn. Pompey's fleet (Caes. Civ. 3.5); conveyed Pompey's letters to the consuls (Cic. Att. 8.11, D. 12, A.); watched M. Antony's passage over the Adriatic (Caes. Civ. 3.40); and, about the time of the battle of Pharsalia, blockaded the harbour of Brundisium. (Caes. Civ. 3.100.) M. Antony placed Laelius on the list of Pompeians forbidden to return to Italy without licence from Caesar; but the prohibition was subsequently removed. (Cic. Att. 11.7, 14.)

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.
