A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

1. The person quoted by Galen (De Compos. Medicam. sec. Gen. 5.11, vol. xiii. p. 831) must have lived in or before the second century after Christ. He may, perhaps, be the physician, of whose medical formulae one is quoted by Paulus Aegineta (4.37, 7.17. pp. 520, 678) and Nicolaus Myrepsus (10.143, p.579). A pharmaceutical author of the same name is said by Fabricius (Bibl. Gr. vol. xiii. pp. 5, 346, ed. vet.) to be quoted by Aetius, but the writer has not been able to find the name in the place referred to (10.27).
