was a physician, and received his name Empiricus from belonging to the school of Empirici. He was a pupil of Herodotus of Tarsus (Diog. Laert. ix.; Timon), who was a physician, and apparently a contemporary of Galen. Sextus may, therefore, have lived in the first half of the third century of the Christian aera. Nothing is known of his life. He belonged to the Sceptici.
