Iapis

or, as Heinsius proposes to read, Iapyx, was a son of Iasus, and a favourite of Apollo, who wanted to confer upon him the gift of prophecy, the lyre, &c.; but lapis, wishing to prolong the life of his father, preferred the more tranquil art of healing to all the others. He also cured Aeneas of the wound he had received in the war against Latinus. (Verg. A. 12.391, with Heyne's Exeursus iv. on Aen. xii.)

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.
