Thrasuandros (300 – 30 BCE)
A A mentions his pill for dysentery: 9.35, 42 (Zervos 1911: 363, 385). The
rare name is unattested after the 1st c. BCE: LGPN 1.226.

Thrasuas (350 – 280 BCE)
T, HP 9.17.2, records his theory that poisons can become tolerated and
mastered; he cited evidence that the same stuff was poisonous to some but not others, and
made “clever” distinctions among constitutions. Theophrastos proceeds to relate stories
about E A and E K.
Fabricius (1726) 437.

Thrasubulus (220 – 470 CE)
Writer on astrology used by A (Sidonius Apollinaris Ep. 8.11.10). He is, possibly,
the same astrologer Thrasubulus who advised Seuerus Alexander (SHA Alex. Sev. 62.2).

Thrasullos, Ti. Claudius (of Mende ̄s?) (4 – 36 CE)
A polymath and scholar, who became the emperor Tiberius’ astrologer, and best known for
his tetralogical arrangements of the works of P and D, the former surviv-
ing in the manuscript tradition. Material on the Platonic corpus at D L
3.47–66 (= T22) follows as introduction to the reading of Plato in the Thrasullan tradition.
His work on the corpus involved interpretation, but surviving fragments clearly mark him as
much more than a scholar. Though never explicitly referred to as a Pythagorean, it is
agreed that he leans in this direction, and P’ Life of P ̄ 20 – 21 (= T19a-b),
following L, includes him in a list of Pythagorizers who treated the first principles
of P and Plato. A passage in Porphurios’ Commentary on P’s Harmonics
p. 12 (= T23) speaks of a logos, involving analogical relations and embracing all physical
reality, which is imitated by human reasoning, informs matter, and is employed cognitively
by the Universal Leader-God. Thrasullos is said to have called this “the logos of the forms”
and sees its influence as penetrating to all levels. The information may have come from
On the Heptachord, a harmonic writing of Thrasullos, cited by Porphurios (p. 91 = T15a,
p. 96 = T15b), which included the octave along with the fourth and fifth as harmonic
