Medicam. 100.171, p. 222), a native either of Gordium in Phrygia (Gordiensis) or of Gortyna ill Crete (Gortynensis), may perhaps have been the same physician who is introduced by Plutarch as one of the speakers in his Symposiaca (3.6) and said to have belonged to the Epicurean school of philosophy.
