Li'cinus, Po'rcius

5. Porcius Licinus, an ancient Roman poet, whom A. Gellius places between Valerius Aedituus and Q. Lutatius Catulus, consul B. C. 104, and who, therefore, probably lived in the latter part of the second century, B. C. Gellius quotes an epigram of Licinus, which seems to be taken from the Greek, and likewise cites the commencement of a poem of his on the history of Roman poetry, written in trochaic tetrameters. He seems to be the same as the Porcius mentioned in the life of Terence, ascribed to Suetonius, but must not be confounded, as he has been by some modern writers, with the consul of this name. [No. 2.] (Gel. 19.9, 17.2; Anthol. Lat. Nos. 25, 26, ed. Meyer; Madvig, de L. Attii Didascalicis, p. 20.)

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.
