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 ̄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.
