      lived probably at the end of the first century B. C., as he is quoted by Crito (ap. Gal. <hi rend="ital">De Compos. Medicam. sec. Gen.</hi> 5.3, vol. xiii. p. 786, 7), and was shortly
      anterior to Strabo. He was a follower of Erasistratus, and was at the head of a celebrated
      medical school established at Smnyrna. (Strab. 12.8, sub fin.) He is several times quoted by
      Athenaeus, who says (ii. p. 59) that he was a friend of the physician Menodorus; and also by
      Pliny, who calls him "a physician of no small authority." (<hi rend="ital">H.N.</hi> 27.14.)
      There are extant two coins, struck in his honour by the people of Smyrna, which are described
      and illustrated by Mead in his <title xml:lang="la">Dissert. de Numis quibusdam a Smyrnaeis in
       Medicorum Honorem percussis,</title> Lond. 4to. 1724; see also Fabric. <hi rend="ital">Bibl.
