lady,” (CAAG 2.246), implies that she was of patrician if not imperial status, while a Latin
term rarely used in Greek literature but applied to a member of her entourage suggests that
she may have been of Roman lineage (Mertens 1995: §8.3 and note ad loc.).

Theosebios (100 – 300 CE?)
A 15th c. MS (Bologna, Biblioteca Universitaria, 3632) contains a five-ingredient formula
(opium, myrrh, castoreum, hupokistos juice, and storax mixed with wine) to treat intestinal
ailments. The formula’s simple design reflects the early stages of compound medicines
(1st–3rd cc. CE), although Theosebios does not seem to have been mentioned by (the sources
of) G. The name appears Christian which perhaps renders the 3rd c. most likely.

Theotropos (65 – 90 CE)
A P., in G CMGen 5.14 (13.852 K.), repeats from A
T a medication given by Theotropos for ulcers of several kinds, containing yellow
orpiment, litharge, etc. The name seems otherwise unattested (Pape-Benseler; LGPN).

sheath it, and pour on a vinegar solution. Cf. E S.

Thessalos of Ko ̄s (ca 420 – 350 BCE)
Physician like his father H and brother D. The sons of both brothers
were each called Hippokrate ̄s (G, In Hipp. De natura hominis 2.1, CMG 5.9.1, p. 58) and,
like their fathers and grandfather, were physicians, as was Hippokrate ̄s’ son-in-law P.
Inscriptional evidence suggests the continuing family tradition in medicine at
Ko ̄s (Benedum; Sherwin-White).
Thessalos, who may have worked at the Macedonian court (Embassy, 9.418, 428 Littré),
contributed to the H C, editing and publishing E II, IV and
VI from notes made by his father (Gale ̄n, In Hipp. Epid. VI [CMG 5.10.2.2, pp. 13, 76, 156,
272]). Several Hippocratic works in antiquity were assigned alternately to Hippokrate ̄s
or Thessalos (Gale ̄n, first reference above). For example, On Nutriment was assigned to
Hippokrate ̄s, Thessalos or even to H (Gale ̄n, De septimestri partu 2 [Walzer];
Schol. M in Hippokrate ̄s On Nutriment, MS Marcianus graecus 269 (11th c.) [CMG 1.1, p. 79]).
