Doro'theus(Δωπόθεος).
1. a Greek physician, who wrote a work entitled
Ὑπομνήματα,
Commentarii, which is quoted by Phlegon
Trallianus (
De Mirab. 100.26), but is no longer in existence. He must
have lived some time in or before the second century after Christ, and may perhaps be the same
person who is mentioned by Pliny, and said to have been a native of Athens, and also the same
as Dorotheus Helius, who is twice mentioned by Galen. (
De Antid. 2.14;
vol. xiv. pp. 183, 187.)
