Notes
- Syracusans of this name appear in in Xenophon, Anabasis 1.2.9 and Plutarch, Dion 34-35; given the fifty-year gap they are presumably father and son, or grandfather and grandson. And for a late-C3 Sosis in Syracuse see Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 6.251F [6.59 Kaibel] (parasite of the tyrant Hieronymos).
Also the name of an early king of Egypt.
