Of Epidaurus; a wise woman; daughter of Soteridas,[1] who is said to have been the author of her collections, as Dionysius [says] in [book] 30 of his Musical History;[2] but others write that her husband Socratidas was the author.[3] [She wrote] Historical Commentaries in 33 books;[4] Epitome of Ctesias[5] in 3 books; a very large number of epitomes of histories and other books; On Disputes; On Sex; and many other works.[6]

Notes:
C1 AD. See generally RE Pamphila(1); OCD4 Pamphila; FHG 3.520-522.
[1] See [sigma 875] and [sigma 876] Soteridas. A problem arises from the fact that in sigma 875 Soteridas is the name of Pamphila's husband; hence Adler (apparatus there) would read Sokratidas. Since both entries probably refer to the same grammarian, it is likely that a misunderstanding or confusion of the sources have caused a mistake in sigma 875.
[2] [delta 1171] Dionysius. The false attribution of historical works is often suspected by ancient authors in cases of woman writers, since their skills were not believed up to such complex matters. A similar remark occurs in Athenaeus, in reference to the obscure historian Nikobule; cf. also Marcellinus' observation about the style of Thucydides book 8, composed by the historian's daughter according to some sources.
[3] See [sigma 875] Soteridas (sic). According to A. Daub (RhM 35, 58-61), the name Sokratidas is just a corruption for Soteridas, i.e. Pamphila's husband and not her father. However, the character of this entry, where both names are inserted and in a way opposed to each other, does not support such interpretations. The name of Pamphila's husband was probably known from the preface to her miscellaneous work (see note 6).
[4] See Photius, Bibl. cod. 175.
[5] [kappa 2521] Ktesias.
[6] Pamphila of Epidaurus flourished in the age of the Emperor Nero. Her family or ancestors had moved to Greece from Egypt, most likely Alexandria, and she was therefore considered (at least by Photius) as Egyptian: *ai)gupti/a de\ to\ ge/nos h( *pamfi/lh (cf. Phot. Bibl. 119b38. According to Photius, Pamphila also wrote the summi/ktwn i(storikw=n u(pomnhma/twn lo/goi, "Miscellany of historical notes", a work in eight books. It was the fruit of her advice to put on record everything one reads (and learns), advice Photius appears to quote with approval: cf. Phot. Bibl. 119b20-27.

Headword: *swthri/das
Adler number: sigma,875
Translated headword: Soteridas
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Grammarian. Husband of Pamphile,[1] to whom he attributed the histories. He wrote Orthography; Homeric Enquiries; a commentary on Menander; On Metres; On Comedy; a commentary on Euripides.
Greek Original:
*swthri/das, grammatiko/s, a)nh\r *pamfi/lhs, h(=| kai\ ta\s i(stori/as perih=yen. e)/grayen *)orqografi/an, *zhth/seis *(omhrika/s, u(po/mnhma ei)s *me/nandron, *peri\ me/trwn, *peri\ kwmw|di/as, ei)s *eu)ripi/dhn.
Notes:
[1] See pi 139 (Pamphile), where the husband's name is given as Socratidas, and Soteridas is the name of Pamphile's father: see sigma 876 (Soteridas), a likely reference to the same grammarian. Photius, Bibliotheca 175, 119B does not seem to know any doubt about the name of Pamphile's father.
This Soteridas is probably the grammarian referred to as Soteras in an Iliadic scholion; the variant also occurs, Adler reports, in Suda ms M.

Headword: *swthri/das
Adler number: sigma,876
Translated headword: Soteridas
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Of Epidaurus. Father of Pamphile,[1] whose commentaries he wrote, in 3 books, according to Dionysius in book 30 of his Musical History.[2]

Notes:
RE Soteridas(1), and cf. [sigma 875]; both entries probably refer to the same grammarian, although Soteridas is there said to have been Pamphile's husband. This one's name was Sokratidas, according to Pamphile's biography in [pi 139]; perhaps confusion in the sources caused an error.
