Nico'stratus

11. A native of Cilicia, and a man of distinguished family. The period when he lived may be gathered from the statement of Quinctilian (Inst. Orat. 2.8.14), that in his youth he had seen Nicostratus, who was then an old man. When a boy, Nicostratus was carried off by pirates, and taken to Aegeae, where he was purchased from them by some person. He was renowned for his strength and prowess, and at one of the Olympic festivals gained the prize on the same day in the wrestling match atndt the pancratium. (Paus. 5.21.11; Tacit. de Orat. 10.)

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.
