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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
