Tha'myrus

2. L. Maelius. L. L., designated Vascularius, that is, a maker of vases. on an extant Latin inscription. (Gruter, p. dcxliii.; R. Rochette, Lettre à M. Schorn, p. 415, 2d ed.)

A discussion has been raised respecting the true form of this name. Köhler (Einleitung, p. 13) blames Visconti for calling the gem-engraver Thamyrus instead of Thamyras. Of course ΘΑΜΥΡΟΥ, on the gems, might be taken as the genitive of either; but Stosch and R. Rochette decide in favour of Thamyrus on the evidence of the inscription. The truth, however, seems to be that Thamyrus is merely the Latin form of Θαμύρας, which is the genuine Greek, and which is only a variation of Θάμυρις. (Pape, Wörterbuch d. Griech. Eigennamen.)

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.
