Xenarchus

2. An Athenian comic poet of the Middle Comedy, who was contemporary with Timocles, and lived as late as the time of Alexander the Great. The following titles of his plays have been preserved, with some considerable fragments : Βουταλίων, Δίδυμοι, Πένταθλος, Πορφύρα, Πρίαπος, Σκύθαι, Στρατιώτης, Ὕπνος. (Suid. s.v. Ath. passim.) Fabricius and others have confounded him with the mimographer, who lived sixty or seventy years earlier, and wrote in a different dialect. (Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. ii. p. 505; Clinton, F. H. vol. ii. Introd p. xlv.; Meineke, Frag. Com. Graec. vol. i.p. 434, vol. iii. pp. 614-625, Editio Minor, pp. 811-815.)

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.
