Athe ̄nio ̄n (of Athens?) (50 – 10 BCE)
C 5.25.9 records his trokhiskos against cough: castoreum, myrrh, poppy “tears”
and pepper, ground separately, then mixed (take two in the morning and two at bedtime).
S, Gyn. 3.2 (CMG 4, p. 94; CUF v. 3, pp. 2–3), classing him as Erasistratean,
indicates that he, like M, argued in favor of the existence of diseases special to
women. In this period, the name is especially Athenian: LGPN.

Athe ̄nippos (120 BCE – 40 CE)
Compounded a collyrium that became known as “Athe ̄nippion”; recorded by S
L 26 – 27 (opium, white pepper, pompholux, roasted copper, etc.), by A
P. in G, CMLoc 4.7 (12.789 K., cf. 774) as “universal” (pankhre ̄ston), and by M-

Athe ̄nodo ̄ros (Med.) (50 – 100 CE)
Physician and philosopher, contemporary with P. He wrote On Epidemics (peri
epide ̄mio ̄n) claiming that hudrophobia and elephantiasis first appeared in the time of
A B, cited as a witness against the conjecture of P H-
that the diseases were newly discovered (Quaest. Symp. 8.9.1 [731A]).
RE 2.2 (1896) 2046 (#23), M. Wellmann.
GLIM
Athe ̄nodo ̄ros (of Rhodes?) (250 BCE – 50 CE)
D L four times cites the 8th book of Athe ̄nodo ̄ros’ Peripatoi, apparently a
biographical account of philosophers: 3.3 (P and Dio ̄n), 5.36 (T’
father’s occupation), 6.81 (Diogene ̄s the Cynic), and 9.42 (D’ visual acuity).
Grammarians record the remarks of some Athe ̄nodo ̄ros on prosody and melody, and
Quintilian 2.17.15 assigns that man to Rhodes.
