(), a physician whose medical formulae appear to
have enjoyed some celebrity, as they are quoted with approbation by Galen (de
Compos. Medicam. sec. Gen. 5.2. vol. xiii. p. 784), Oribasius (Synops. iii. p. 43), Aetius (Tetrab. iv. Serm. 2.34. p. 705, and Tetrab. iv. Serm.
3.21. p. 772), Paulus Aegineta (4.55, p. 530, 7.19, p. 686), and others. As Galen is the
earliest writer by whom he is mentioned, he must have lived some time in or before the second
century after Christ.
