Peti'llius

1, 2. Q. Petillii, two tribunes of the plebs, B. C. 185, are said to have been instigated by Cato the Censor, to accuse Scipio Africanus the elder, of having been bribed by Antiochus to allow that monarch to come off too leniently; but according to other authorities it was M. Naevius and not the Petillii who brought the charge. On the death of Africanus in this year, the Petillii brought forward a bill for making an iquiry respecting the persons who had received money from Antiochus without paying it into the treasury. 49 (Liv. 38.50, 54, 56; comp. Gel. 4.18; Aur. Vict. de Vir. Ill.) [NAEVIUS, No. 4.]

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.
