246 APOLLONIUS.
genes (Gal, ibid. vol. xii. p. 515); we may therefore conclude that he lived in or before the first
century after Christ. He was a follower of Herophilus, and is said by Galen (ibid. p. 510) to have
lived for some time at Alexandria. His work, flpl
Mvpwvo, On Ointments, is quoted by Athenaeus
(xv. p. 688), and he is also mentioned by Caelius
Aurelianus. (De Morb. Ac. ii. 28, p. 139).
11. ArPOLLONIU HIPPOCRATICUS ('IiriroicpdTrELos), is said by Galen (De Secta Opt. c. 14.
vol. i. p. 144; Comment. III. in Hippocr. " De
Rat. Vict. in Morb. Ac." c. 38. vol. xv. p. 703) to
have been a pupil of Hippocrates II., and must
therefore have lived in the fourth century B. c.
IHe is blamed by Erasistratus (ap. Gal. 1. c.) for
his excessive, severity in restricting the quantity
of drink allowed to his patients.
12. APOLLONIUS MEMPHITES (MIET-Hosj) was
born at Memphis in Egypt, and was a follower of
Erasistratus. (Gal. Introd. c. 10. vol. xiv. p. 700.)
He must therefore have lived about the third century B. c., and is probably the same person who is
called " Apollonius Stratonicus." He wrote a work
" On the Names of the Parts of the Human Body"
(Gal. 1. c., and Definit. prooem. vol. xix. p. 347),
and is quoted by Erotianus (Gloss. Hipp. p. 86),
Galen (De Antid. ii. 14, vol. xiv. p. 188), Nicolaus Myrepsus (De Aur. cc. 11, 16. pp. 831, 832),
and other ancient writers.
13. APOLLONIUS MUS (Mýs), a follower of
Herophilus, of whose life no particulars are known,
but who must have lived in the first century B. c.,
as Strabo mentions him as a contemporary. (xiv.
1, p. 182, ed. Tauchn.) He was a fellow-pupil
of Heracleides of Erythrae (ibid.), and composed
a long work on the opinions of the sect founded
by Herophilus. (Cael, Aurel. De Morb. Acut. ii.
13, p. 11 0; Gal. De D)fer. Pids. iv. 10, vol. viii.
pp. 744, 746.) He also wrote on pharmacy (Cels.
De M/ed. v. praef. p. 81; Pallad. Comm. in Hipp.
" Epid. VI.," ap. Dietz, Schol. in Hipp. et Gal.
vol. ii. p. 98; Gal. De Antid. ii. 7, 8, vol. xiv.
pp. 143, 146), and is supposed to be the same
person who is sometimes called " Apollonius Herophileius."
14. APOLLONIUS OPHms (b "O is) is said by
Erotianus (Gloss. lipp. p. 8) to have made a comre
pilation from the Glossary of difficult Hippocratic
words by Baccheius; he must therefore have lived
about the first or second century B. c. He is supposed by some persons to be Apollonius Pergamenus, by others Apollonius Ther.
15. APOLLONIUS ORGANICUS ('Op~yavKocs) is
quoted by Galen (De Compos. MJedicam. sec. Loee.
v. 15, vol. xiii. p. 856), and must therefore have
lived in or before the second century after Christ.
Nothing is known of his life.
16. APOLLONIUS PERGAMENUS (rhepydI'jA os)
is supposed by some persons to beo Apollonius
Ophis, or Apollonius Ther. He was born at Pergamus in Mysia, but his date is very uncertain,
since it can only be positively determined that, as he
is quoted by Oribasius, he must have lived in or before the fourth century after Christ. (Orib. Eupor.
ad Eun. i. 9, p. 578.) He is probably the author
of rather a long extract on Scarification preserved
by Oribasius (~Med. Coll. vii. 19, 20, p. 316), which
is published by C. F. Matthaei in his Collection of
Greek Medical Writers, entitled XXI. Veterum et
Clarorum Medicorum Graecorum VJaria Opuscula,
Mosqu. 1808, 4to., p. 144.

APOLLOPHANES.
17. APOLLONIUS PITANAEUS was born at Pitanae in Aeolia, and must have lived in or before
the first century after Christ, as an absurd and
superstitious remedy is attributed to him by Pliny.
(H. N. xxix. 38.)
18. APOLLONIUS SENIOR (4 IIpeO-'-repos) is
quoted by Erotianus (Gloss. Hipp. p. 86), and must
therefore have lived in or before the first century
after Christ. Some persons suppose him to be one
of the physicians called Apollonius Antiochenus.
19. APOLLONIUS STRATONICUS (o cdrd 2'Tpa'rwvos) was probably not the son, but the pupil, of
Strato of Beryta: he is very likely the same person
as Apollonius Memphites, and may be supposed to
have lived about the third century B. c. He was a
follower of Erasistratus, and wrote a work on the
Pulse, which is quoted by Galen. (De Differ. Puls.
iv. 17, vol. viii. p. 759.)
20. APOLLONIUS TARSENSIS (o Tapa-e's) was
born at Tarsus in Cilicia, and lived perhaps in the
first or second century after Christ. His prescriptions are several times quoted by Galen. (De
Compos. Medicam. sec. Gen. v. 13, vol. xiii. p. 843.)
21. APOLLONIUS THER (6 '0fp) is supposed by
some persons to be the same as Apollonius Ophis,
or Apollonius Pergamenus. As he is quoted by
Erotianus (Gloss. Hipp. p. 86), he must have
lived in or before the first century after Christ.
22. Another physician of this name, who is
mentioned by Apuleius (Met. ix. init.) as having
been bitten by a mad dog, must (if he ever really
existed) have lived in the second century after
Christ; and the name occurs in several ancient
authors, belonging to one or more physicians,
without any distinguishing epithet. [W. A. G.J
APOLLO'PHANES ('ATroAAoeqodns). 1. Of
ANTIOCH, a Stoic philosopher, was a friend of
Ariston of Chios, on whom he wrote a work called
"Api-rmwv. (Athen. vii. p. 281.) Diogenes Lairtius
(vii. 140, comp. 92) mentions a work of his called
vwoect. His name also occurs in Tertullian. (De
Anim. 14.) Some writers have asserted, though
without any good reason, that Apollophanes the
Stoic was the same as Apollophanes the physician
who lived at the court of Antiochus. A later Stoic
philosopher of this name occurs in Socrates (Hist.
Eccl. vi. 19) and in Suidas. (s. v. 't2ptyeiv; comp.
Ruhnken, Dissert. de Vita et Script. Longini, sect. vii.)
2. Of ATHENS, a poet of the old Attic comedy
(Suid.), appears to have been a contemporary of
Strattis, and to have consequently lived about 01.
95. (Harpocrat. s. v. dBEAXpietv.) Suidas ascribes
to him five comedies, viz. AdAis, 'I)ityipwv,, Kpirey,
Aavacd and Kivravpot. Of the former three we
still possess a few fragments, but the last two are
completely lost. (Athen. iii. pp. 75, 114, xi. pp.
467, 485; Phot. Lex. s. v. svota'dpqlis; Aelian,
Hist. Ann. vi. 51; Phot. p. 624; Meineke, Hist.
Crit. Comic. Graec. p. 266, &c.)
3. Of CYzicus, was connected by friendship with
the Persian satrap Pharnabazus, and afterwards
formed a similar connexion with Agesilaus. Soon
after this, Pharnabazus requested him to persuade
Agesilaus to meet him, which was done accordingly. (Xenoph. Hellen. iv. 1. ~ 29; Plut. Agesil
12.) This happened in B. c. 396, shortly befor(
the withdrawal of Agesilaus from the satrapy o:
Pharnabazus. [L. S.]
