Amelesa'goras

（*)Amelhsago/ras) or MELESA'GORAS (Μελησαλόρας), as he is called by others, of Chalcedon, one of the early Greek historians, from whom Gorgias and Eudemus of Naxos borrowed. (Clem. Alex. Strom. vi. p. 629a; Schol. ad Eurip. Alcest. 2; Apollod. 3.10.3, where Heyne has substituted Μελησαγόρας for Μνησαγόρας.) Maximus Tyrius (Serm. 38.3) speaks of a Melesagoras, a native of Eleusis, and Antigonus of Carystus (Hist. Mirab. 100.12) of an Amelesagoras of Athens, the latter of whom wrote an account of Attica; these persons are probably the same, and perhaps also the same as Amelesagoras of Chalcedon. (Vossius, de Hist. Graec. p. 22, ed. Westermann.)

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.
