p. 640.11–12], 2.187 [CML 6.1.1, p. 658.14]). Gale ̄n mentions Antipatros’ collection of
recipes for compound medicines (CMLoc 9.5, 13.292 K.) and further quotes recipes via
A (from this collection or not) as used by Antipatros (CMLoc 3.3, 12.684 K.:
nasal polyps; CMLoc 6.6, 12.936 K.: oral wounds; and 13.292 K.: dysentery and tenesmus).
He might be the same Antipatros who created the recipes bearing his name in Gale ̄n
(CMLoc 9.2, 13.239 K.: draught for spleen disease; CMLoc 3.1, 12.630 K.: against pain in
the ears). Antipatros composed a Mithridateion (Antid. 2.1, 14.108–109 K.) and a theriac
whence the antidote to asp-bites Gale ̄n himself used (Antid. 2.10, 14.160 K.). It is unknown
(though typical of the 1st c. CE) whether the same physician, perhaps a specialist in
pharmaceutical therapeutics (particularly compound medicines), authored all these works.

Antipatros (Methodist) (ca 50 – 193 CE)
Physician listed among the Methodists post-dating T and T (G,
MM 1.7.5 [10.52–53 K. = p. 27 Hankinson], -G, I 14.684 K. =
frr. 162, 283 Tecusan), but omitted from other Methodist catalogues. Tecusan (2004: 46)
identifies as a Methodist the homonymous author of medical letters, in at least three
books (C A Chron. 2.157, 187 [CML 6.1.1, pp. 640, 658] = frr. 68, 72),
which addressed the application of the number three to medical treatments, and the cau-
tious use of bandaging and its concomitant dangers, in defense of a Methodist stance. But
if this Antipatros’ addressee “Gallus” was A G (as has been suggested), he
would predate Thessalos. See also A (P.), whose interests accord with the
Methodist profile. Gale ̄n records an Antipatros in Rome, whose alarm, when fevered, at an
erratic pulse led to his self-treatment of that fever with baths, exercise, and plain simple foods
(Affected Parts 4 [8.293–294 K.] = fr. 153 Tecusan). That Gale ̄n treats his contemporary
respectfully and without disputation may render his Methodism unlikely (Tecusan 2004: 48).

Antipatros (of Tarsos?) (ca 200 – 100 BCE?)
The second Greek, after B and before A, to study astrology
(V 9.6.2); perhaps the Stoic A T.

Antipatros of Tarsos (ca 160 – 130 BCE)
Student and successor of D B as head of the Stoa in ca 150 BCE, and
teacher of P. Died at an old age in ca 130 BCE by drinking poison. He worked
innovatively in many areas of philosophy and was noted as a particularly gifted logician.
S E praised him highly as a philosopher. In opposition to the standard
Stoic position, Antipatros claimed that there were such things as single-premise arguments
(such as “if you are breathing, you are alive”). He is credited with introducing the adjective
as a distinct class of word in Greek grammar (omitted by C S and
