a prose treatise on agriculture excerpted by C D seems doubtful (V,
RR 1.1.9–10; cf. C, 1.1.11); perhaps Cassius found material relevant to agronomy
in a poem like the He ̄siodos.

Euphrano ̄r (Pythag.) (ca 150 – 50 BCE)
Second-generation Pythagorean musician who, together with M, some time
after E, discovered four new means (mesòte ̄s), added to the six already known
(I in Nikom. 2.28.6–11 [p. 116]).

Bruno Centrone
Euphrano ̄r (Arch.) (ca 364 – 325 BCE)
Sculptor, painter, wrote on theories of art. Quintilian singles out for praise Euphrano ̄r’s
talents in sculpture, painting, and the other arts (Inst. 12.10.3). V notes his treatises
on proportions and color (7. pr.14). Ancient authors describe many of his statues and paint-
ings (e.g. P 34.77, 35.128–129, Pausanias 1.3.3–4), of which the torso of the colossal
marble cult statue of Apollo Patroös (Athenian Agora) has been excavated and is generally
accepted as a genuine work of Euphrano ̄r.

Euphrano ̄r (Pharm.) (200 BCE – 95 CE)
A P., in G CMGen 2.14 (13.525 K.), records his cicatrizing oint-
ment composed of calamine, khalkitis, diphruges, lead, roasted misu, in beeswax,
“Kolopho ̄n” resin, myrtle oil, and Italian wine. The last-named ingredient renders a date
after ca 200 BCE more likely; the name is very common on Rhodes, and rare after the 1st c.
BCE: LGPN.
