Artemido ̄ros of Side ̄ (90 – 30 BCE)
Follower of E, who wrote on pathology, explaining hudrophobia as an affec-
tion of the upper gastro-intestinal tract, and denied that there could be any new diseases,
including hudrophobia: C A Acute 3.113, 118 [CML 6.1.1, pp. 358,
362]); he is there listed before A, supplying the likely terminus ante. He also defined
cardiac disease as an inflammation in the region of the heart: ibid., 2.163 (p. 242).

Artemisius Dianio (200 – 400 CE)
M B ascribes two recipes to an Artemius (13.17, CML 5, p. 228) or
Artemisius (36.54, p. 614) Dianio, whose name seems somehow related to the small island
Dianium, near the Etruscan coastline, called Artemisium by the Greeks (cf. P 3.81 and
others), today Giannutri, where remain important ruins of a 1st/2nd c. BCE Roman villa.
The first recipe is a toothpaste against the gnashing of teeth; the second one is a cure for
gout (podagra).

Artemo ̄n (Med.) (20 BCE – 25 CE)
P lists him, apparently in chronological order, after D, A
“M,” and M, and before A S (1.ind.28 and 28.7–8) as giving
medicines from the human body, and records his quasi-magical remedy for epilepsy (night-
drawn spring-water drunk from a dead man’s exhumed skull: cf. H 4.65).
S L in A P., in G CMLoc 4.7 (12.780 K.), records
the “Artemonion” collyrium used by I B, containing antimony, saffron, myrrh,
psimuthion, white pepper, etc. in gum and wine.

Artemo ̄n of Kassandreia (250 – 150 BCE?)
Certainly lived after the mid-3rd c. BCE, because of the reference he makes, in one of his
fragments, to the grammarian Dionusius Skutobrakhio ̄n (Ath. Deipn. 12 [515d–e]); he wrote
treatises on several topics, On collecting of books, On the use of books (probably a part of the same
work previously quoted) and On the Guild of Dionusos, whose title seems to refer to guilds of
theatrical artists – musicians as well as poets and actors – called “Artists of Dionusos”
(Dionusiakoi tekhnitai), active in several parts of Greece from the late 3rd c. BCE. Of this musical
