(), the name of two (or more probably three) physicians.
1. A pupil of Praxagoras (Oribas. Coll. Medic. 44.8, p. 12, in Mai's
Class. Auct. e Vatic. Codic. Edit. Rom. 1831), who must therefore have
lived in the fourth century B. C., perhaps also in the third. He is probably the native of Cos
mentioned by Diogenes Laertius (2.6.59); perhaps also the physician quoted by Caelius
Aurelianus (De Morb. Chron. 2.13, p. 416). It is also shown by M.
Littré (Oeuvres d'Hippocr. vol. i. pp. 75, 76) that he is the
person alluded to, but not named, by Galen (Comment. in
Hippocr. Prognost. 1.4, vol. xviii. pt. ii. p. 19); and therefore he is perhaps also the
physician mentioned by the same author (De Dieb. Decret. 2.7, vol. ix. p.
872), as having written on the subject of critical days.
