Of Smyrna, a physician and epigrammatist. Brunck has inadvertently attributed to him
      eight epigrams that belong to Nicodemus. We have two epigrams written by him, both votive, and
      engraved on the same statue, which was one of Aesculapius, fabricated by the sculptor Boethus.
      The style proves that they were written long after the time of Boethus. Indeed the first
      epigram bears this expressly, <foreign xml:lang="grc">χειρῶν δεῖγμα
      παλαιγενέων</foreign>. We have also an epitaph on Nicomedes. (<hi rend="ital">Anthol.
