Orfitus

10. ORFITUS GAVIUS, consul A. D. 178, with Julianus Rufus. (Lamprid. Colsmmod. 12.)

As the three persons last mentioned all lived in the reign of M. Aurelius (A. D. 161-180), it is impossible to say which of them was the Ortitus who was advanced to various honours in the state by this emperor, although he was the paramour of the empress (Capitol. M. Anton. Phil. 29).

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.
