Tutica'nus

a friend of Ovid, who addressed to him one of his extant epistles from Pontus (4.12). Tuticanus had made a free translation, into Latin verse of the Odyssey, or at least of a portion of it, to which Ovid refers in the lines : “Dignam Maeoniis Phaeacida condere chartis
Cum te Pierides perdocuere tuae.”

Ovid likewise alludes to this poem in another passage ("Et qui Maeoniam Phaeacida vertit," ex Pont. 4.16. 27), but without naming the author. (Wernsdorf, Poet. Lat. Min. vol. iv. pp. 584, 585.)

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.
