Sabinus (Med.) (ca 100 – 120 CE)
Commentator of Hippokratic treatises frequently referred to by G, traditionally dated
to Hadrian’s era. He was the teacher of S P and M.
He wrote commentaries on the H C, A, W, P, N-
; A, E II, III and VI, and On the Nature of Man; perhaps also
Humors. A fragment is preserved in O Coll. 9.12 (CMG 6.1.2, pp. 15–16) on geo-

Though Gale ̄n held him in high esteem, he also criticized his ignorance of anatomy and
overly-teleological exegeses.
