c. CE, although Eusebe ̄s/Eusebis is found from the 2nd c. BCE: LGPN.

Euskhe ̄mos the Eunuch (100 BCE? – 90 CE)
A P., in G CMLoc 9.4 (13.287–288 K.), preserves his colon-remedy,
including cassidony, Illyrian iris, hazelwort, hemlock seed, myrrh, pepper, Indian nard,
kostos, mandrake, opium, etc. in boiled honey. The name is attested only from ca 100 BCE,
in Illyria and S. Italy: LGPN 3A.176.

Euteknios (250 – 450 CE)
Sophist of unknown date and uncertain origin, attributed with various prosaic paraphrases
of didactic poems: N’ Alexipharmaka and The ̄riaka; the Kune ̄getika of O
A, but probably not of the Halieutika of Oppianus of Kilikia (see P
O H), and certainly not the Ixeutika of D P-
, as formerly thought. Based on a wide corpus of scholia, these prosaic transcriptions,
equal in length to the originals (e.g. Opp., Kun. 13,583 words vs 13,800 for the Paraphrase),
sometimes clarifying poetical expressions, but not exempt from small errors, are rhetorical
exercises occasionally explicating mythology rather than interpreting zoology. Nevertheless,
these paraphrases, especially for Nikandros (since M’ metrical paraphrasis is lost),
are of great value for the manuscript tradition (e.g. Alex. 616–628 on envenimation through
mushrooms is missing).

Euthude ̄mos of Athens (350 – 50 BCE)
Known only from Athe ̄naios, Deipn., whose quotations scholars trace to P
A, and ultimately to D and H T. Two titles are
known, On Vegetables (lakhana) – (58f), 3 (74b), and 9 (369e, 371a) – and On Pickles (tarikha),
salted fish: 3 (116a–d, 118b), 7 (307b, 308e, 315f, and 328d); both appear to be works on
nutrition. The name is much more frequent before ca 200 BCE: LGPN.
