(Νικόδημος), of Heracleia. Seven epigrams written by hint have by an inadvertence of Brunck been attributed to Nicodemus, the physician of Smyrna. They are of the childish class of epigrams, called ἀντιστρέφοντα, or ἀνακυκλίκα, in which the sense is the same, though each distich be read from end to beginning, instead of from beginning to end. The epigrams of Nicodemus consist of two lines each, in the elegiac measure, and seem to have been principally inscriptions for statues and pictures. (Anth. Graec. vol. iii. p. 91, vol. xiii. p.923, ed. Jacobs.)
