Furina

or FURRINA, an ancient Roman divinity, who had a sacred grove at Rome. (Cic. de Nat.Deor. 3.18.) Her worship seems to have become extinct at an early time, for Varro (de L. L. 6.19) states that in his day her name was almost forgotten. An annual festival (Furinalia or Furinales feriae) had been celebrated in honour of her, and a flamen (flamen Furinalis) conducted her worship. (Varro de L. L. 5.84, 7.45.) She had also a temple in the neighbourhood of Satricum. (Cic. ad Q. Frat. 3.1.)

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.
