50 lengthy extracts.

Andro ̄n (Math.) (430 – 370 BCE)
Student of O K and teacher of Z, who distinguished theore ̄ma
(seeking to know the character of a matter under investigation) from proble ̄ma, which seeks
conditions of existence (P, In Eucl. p. 80.17 Fr.). Zhmud (2006: 178–179) identifies
Proklos’ source as G not E, and dates this Andro ̄n (with his teacher and
student) to the Hellenistic era.

Andro ̄n (Pharm.) (225? – 75 BCE)
Pharmacologist to be distinguished from A K; prior to H
T who mentioned Andro ̄n’s remedy in his Against Antiokhis (G CMLoc 6.8
[12.983.17–984.6 K.] = Hkld. fr.205 Deichgr.). He had invented a trokhiskos, the formula
of which was modified by He ̄rakleide ̄s (cf. A P. in Gale ̄n CMGen 5.11
[13.825.16–826.1 K.]). It is described by A Y (ibid. 5.12 [834.9–
13 K.], cf. Askle ̄piade ̄s, 5.11 [825.13–15 K.]) as follows: pomegranate flowers, oak-gall,
myrrh, birthwort, vitriol, fissile alum and Cyprian misu macerated in sweet wine. This
pastille became famous and is mentioned in various prescriptions not only by the Greeks
(Gale ̄n, O, A, and P A) but also by the Romans (S-
L [5 times], C [thrice] and C A [Acute 3.18, CML 6.1.1,
p. 302.31]). Athe ̄naios (15 [680d]) quotes Andro ̄n when writing about akinos, a coronary
plant rather akin to wild basil.
