Eutonios (250 BCE – 365 CE)
Arkhiatros whose sciatica remedy was compounded from aged olive oil, wild cucumber
cooked therein, beeswax, purethron, raw sulfur, terebinth, euphorbia, staphis, barley,
thapsia, dittany, and marsh-salt (D 5.119) (O, Syn. 3.91, CMG 6.3,
p. 93). An extremely rare name, known only at Athens (4th c. BCE: LGPN 2.184).

Eutropius of Bordeaux (350 – 390 CE)
Physician mentioned among his sources by M B, who also says that
he worked recently, and was an eminent citizen of Bordeaux (pr.2). He is possibly the
Eutropius addressee of eight letters of Symmachus (epist. 3.46–53: 377– 387 CE), a political
personage who is generally identified with the historian author of the Breuiarium (369 CE).

Eutychianus (200 – 400 CE)
M B attributes to the archiater (“imperial physician”) Eutychianus
the recipe of a pill against various diseases (14.70: CML 5, p. 246); O that of a
salve for cicatrization (Ecl. Med. 95: CMG 6.2.2, p. 272). He is identifiable with the Terentius
Eutychianus quoted by the Antidotarium Bruxellense for a laxative recipe (T
P p. 368 Rose).

Expositio geographiae (9th c. CE?)
The author is more likely to be from the circle of the 9th c. patriarch Pho ̄tios of Constanti-
nople than to be the much earlier P. His geographical compendium Hupotupo ̄sis
geo ̄graphias en epitome ̄ is connected in 9th c. and later MSS with A’ Geo ̄graphias
hupotupo ̄sis. The text (14 chapters and 53 paragraphs), starting with reflections on the Earth’s
circumference, according to S, presents different passages from Strabo ̄n and
P, sometimes verbatim (§§ 46 – 53 = Strabo ̄n 2.5.18–25), and emphasizes geographical
more than astronomical matters. There are numerous arithmetical errors and inaccuracies,
possibly suggesting two redactions.
