A pupil of
Athenaeus, or perhaps
Agathinus,[1] who belonged to the
Pneumatic school.[2] He probably lived towards the end of the 1st century AD, and lived at
Rome, where he practised medicine with great success.[1] He wrote some medical works, which are several times quoted by
Galen and
Oribasius, but of which only some fragments remain.
The physician mentioned by Galen,[4] together with
Euryphon, as having recommended
human milk in cases of
consumption, was probably a different person from either of the preceding, and may have been a contemporary of Euryphon in the 5th century BC.
