2. ARTEMIDORUS CAPITO (Ἀρτεμίδωρος ὁ Καπίτων), a Greek physician and grammarian at Rome, in the reign of the emperor Hadrian, A. D. 117-138. He was a relation of Dioscorides, who also edited the works of Hippocrates, and he is frequently mentioned by Galen. (Comment. in Hippocr. "De Humor." vol. xvi. p. 2; Gloss. Hippocr. vol. xix. p. 83, &c.) He may perhaps be the person sometimes quoted simply by the name of Capito. [CAPITO.]
