Ste'phanus

artists.

1. A sculptor, who exercised his art at Rome in the first century B. C., was the disciple of Pasiteles and the instructor of Menelaus, as we learn from two inscriptions; the one on the trunk of a naked statue in the Villa Albani, ΞΤΕΦΑΝΟΞ ΠΑΞΙΤΕΛΟΨΞ ΜΑΘΗΤΗΞ ΕΠΟΙΕΙ (Marini, Inscriz. d. Villa Albani, p. 174) ; and the other on the base of the celebrated group in the Villa Ludovisi, ΜΕΝΕΛΑΟΞ ΞΤΕΦΑΝΟΨ ΜΑΘΗΤΗΞ ΕΠΟΙΕΙ. [MENELAUS.] Stephanus is also mentioned by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 36.5. s. 4.10) as the maker of Hippiades in the collection of Asinius Pollio; but what be means by Hippiades is not very clear. From the connection, the word would appear to be a feminine plural. (Thiersch. Epochen, p 295.)

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.
