Soranus
1. A native of Cos, who appears to have written an account of Hippocrates, and is said to have examined the libraries and official records at Cos, in search of materials. His date is unknown, but he may perhaps have lived in the third or second century B. C. He is quoted by Soranus, the author of the Life of Hippocrates. (§ 1.)
