John Scarborough
Antigene ̄s (240 – 200 BCE)
Student of K K (thus presumably an Erasistratean), who (in a work
on care of infants?) advocated a Thessalian-style swaddling, in which the infant was tied
into a padded board, analogous to the Native American “cradleboard” (S, Gyn.
2.83: CMG 4, pp. 60–61; CUF v. 2, p. 21; Temkin 1956: 84), and who in his book On Fevers
and Inflammations described catalepsy as “deafness” (C A, Acute 2.56, CML
6.1.1, p. 164). G, In Hipp. Nat. Hom. (CMG 5.9.1, pp. 69–70), lists him among other
“early anatomists,” suggesting a work on anatomy.

PTK
Antigonos (Med.) (270? – 80 BCE)
A P. in G, CMLoc 2.1 (12.557–558 K.) = 2.2 (12.580.12–17 K.),
records the headache remedy of Antigonos, the military physician, and in 4.7 (12.773– 774
K.) preserves his “kroko ̄des leontarion epigraphomenon (sc. pharmakon),” including white pepper
and Falernian wine, especially useful for children. M B cites three
collyria probably invented by the same physician: 8.11, 8.15, 8.124 (CML 5, pp. 116.20,
118.10, 144.15). In 8.15, he describes the collyrium as “acharistum theudotium ab Antigono
inuentum,” seemingly indicating Antigonos precedes T. Is he to be identified with
Antigonos Nikaieus (see A A)?

Jean-Marie Jacques
Antigonos of Alexandria (80 – 40 BCE)
Alexandrian scholar, one of the earliest commentators on N’ The ̄riaka; before
Didumos, and a younger contemporary of D K whom he criticized. The
Antigonos whose glosses are quoted eight times in Schol. Nik. The ̄r., often in conjunction
with De ̄me ̄trios’, is identical to the author of a H Lexicon mentioned by
E (p. 5.19 Nachm.). Rohde, followed by Wellmann and Susemihl, wanted to
identify him with an obscure physician from Nikaia quoted only once (“A P-
,” p. 67.5 Ihm: Antigonou tou Nikaieo ̄s). Some points of similarity in Ero ̄tianos and the
Nikandros Scholia may be explained by the use of Antigonos as their common source.
