Macareus

（Μακαρεύς). Athenaeus cites in two places (vi. p. 262c. xiv. p. 639d' the Κωακά of Macareus. As his citation, the same in both places, is from the third book, we know that the history comprehended at least three books: but nothing more seems known either of the author or the work, except that it was written after the time of Phylarchus, from whom Macareus quotes three hexameter lines, and who appears to have lived in the reign of Ptolemy Euergetes and Ptolemy Philopator, kings of Egypt, i. e. B. C. 246-204. (Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. viii. p. 367.)

[J.C.M]

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.
