A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

2. One of the followers of Cleophantus, who must have lived about the middle of the third century B. C., as Mnemon, one of his fellow-pupils, is known to have lived in the reign of Ptolemy Euergetes, B. C. 247-222. [CLEOPHANTUS ; MNEMON.] One of his works is quoted by Caelius

Aurelianus (De Morb. Acut. 2.10, p. 46), and he is probably the physician mentioned by Galen (Comment. in Hippocr. " De Nat. Horn." 2.6, vol. xv. p. 136), together with several others who lived about that time, as being celebrated anatomists.
