rolling framework allowing the large column-drums to be moved to the construction site
easily and quickly (Vitr. 10.2.11). He also used sand to help settle the upper courses into
place.

Kh(o)ios (250 BCE – 100 CE)
S Gyn. 1.12 (CMG 4, p. 9; CUF v. 1, p. 12) records that ΧΙΟΣ propounded the
existence of a suspender (kremaste ̄r) muscle on the ovaries, where scholars suppose the name
corrupt. “Khios” is, however, attested (1st c. BCE – 1st c. CE: LGPN 3A.477, Illyria and S.
Italy), as is “Khoios” (Hellenistic: 3B.444, Thessalia), and O, Coll. 24.31.20 (CMG
6.2.1, pp. 43–44), confirms the text. If “Khios” is to be emended, perhaps B
T (von Staden 1989: 214–215).

Khrusanthos Gratianus (ca 100 BCE – ca 80 CE)
A in G, CMLoc 3.1 (12.631–632 K.), cites his remedy for aural inflam-
mations and wounds. The Greek name is first attested as a cognomen in south Italy: Q. Iunius
Chrysanthus (freedman) of Herculaneum, five men from Pompeii, and others (LGPN
3A.479; Solin 2003: 1.174–176), although cf. Khrusantas of Ko ̄s, ca 200 BCE (LGPN 1.487).

Khrusermos of Alexandria (ca 70 – 30 BCE?)
He ̄rophilean physician, mentor of H E and A
“M.” Controversial was his amplified definition of the pulse as distention and contrac-
tion of arteries through vital and psychic power, as the arterial layer expands and shrinks
(G Puls. Diff. 4.9 [8.741–743 K.]). Accepted only by his students, Khrusermos’ theory
was rejected by A and Gale ̄n, among others. A in Gale ̄n CMLoc
9.2 (13.243–244 K.) preserves Khrusermos’ diuretic belly-soothing trokhiskos for the
spleen and dropsy compounded from squill, carrot seeds, anise, hartwort, panax root,
iris, nettle seeds, cedar berries, myrrh, bitter vetch, tragacanth, and fragrant wine. P,
citing Khrusermos as a medical authority (1.ind.22), recounts two treatments with decocted
asphodel root: in wine for parotid abscesses, and added to parched barley in wine for
scrofulous swellings (22.71).
