a physician, who was a pupil of Vindicianus (Rer. Med. iv. praef. p. 81. ed. Argent.), and who therefore lived in the fourth century after Christ.

He is supposed to have lived at the court of Constantinople, and to have attained the dignity of Archiater. He belonged to the medical sect of the Empirici, but not without a certain mixture of the doctrines of the Methodici, and even of the Dogmatici.
