observed.

Dionusios Kurtos or Dionusios of Kurtos (100 BCE? – 50 CE)
Physician from Egypt also named after his homeland Kurtos (though one would then expect
Kurtite ̄s), not because he was actually kurtos (“hunchbacked”), as we are told by S
B (s.v. Kurtos; cf. Schol. Oribas. .687 BDM), citing “H P’s
book On the Physicians.” Dionusios was used by R E and before him by
A Y, which indicates Nero’s period as terminus ante quem.
Andromakhos (in G CMGen 6.14 [13.928.7–11 K.]) describes one of his vesicatory
plasters (Kurtou epispastike ̄), whereas Rufus of Ephesos in O, Coll. 44.14 (CMG
6.2.1, pp. 131–132: Dionusion ton kurton) cites him regarding a pestilential bubo specific to
Libya, Egypt and Syria.

Dionusios (of Mile ̄tos?) (75 – 35 BCE)
G at CMLoc 5.3 (12.835 K.: following A P.) ascribes a dermato-
logical recipe to a Dionusios schoolfellow (summathe ̄te ̄s) of H T: he is
possibly to be identified either with the Dionusios of Mile ̄tos mentioned at CMLoc 4.7
(12.741–742 K.) and Antid. 2.11 (14.171 K.) or with the D S mentioned
at CMGen 6.16 (13.938 K.), or with the Dionusios mentioned at In Hipp. Aph. 17B.751 K. A
certain Dionysius is mentioned by P for different remedies at 1.ind.20, 19.113, 219;
22.67 and 25.8.

Dionusios of Philadelpheia (140 BCE? – 20 CE?)
Enigmatic figure sometimes identified with D A, P.
Authored a poem On Bird-catching (Ixeutika) or On Birds (Ornithiaka), originally in two or three
books, traditionally but wrongly attributed to O, whose substance is well preserved
in a Byzantine paraphrase previously attributed to the sophist E. Dionusios’ text
shares many parallels with those of Athe ̄naios and A. The paraphrase, preserving
typical rhythmic endings and special vocabulary, is probably a prosaic transcription, very
close to the original. More folkloric than technical treatise, the text mentions prey as well as
