Rh 246 APOLLONIUS. genes (Gal. Hid. vol xii, p. .515) ; we may there- fore conclude that he lived in or before the first century after Christ. He was a follower of Hero- philus, and is said by Galen {ibid. p. 510) to have lived for some time at Alexandria. His work, Uepl Mvpuv, On Ointme7its^ is quoted by Athenaeus (xv. p. 688), and he is also mentioned by Caelius Aurelianus. {De Morb. Ac. ii. 28, p. 139). . ApOLLONIUS HiPPOCRATICUS ('iTTTTO/cpa- T6<os), is said by Galen {De Seda Opt. c. 14. vol. i. p. 144 ; Comment. III. in Hippocr. " De Bat. Vici. in Morb. Ac.'' c. 38. vol. xv. p. 703) to have been a pupil of Hippocrates II., and must therefore have lived in the fourth century b. c. He is blamed by Erasistratus (ap. Gal. /. c.) for his excessive severity in restricting the quantity of drink allowed to his patients. . Apollonius Memphites (M€jti(|)iT77$) was bom at Memphis in Egypt, and was a follower of Erasistratus. (Gal. Introd. c. 10. vol. xiv. p. 700.) He must therefore have lived about the third cen- tury B. c, and is probably the same person who is called " Apollonius Stratonicus." He wrote a work (Gal. /. r., and Definit. prooem. vol. xix. p. 347), and is quoted by Erotianus (Gloss. Hipp. p. 86), Galen {De Antid. ii. 14, vol. xiv. p. 188), Nico- laus Myrepsus {De Aur. cc. 11, 16. pp. 831, 832), and other ancient writers. . Apollonius Mus (Mus), a follower of Herophilus, of whose life no particulars are known, but who must have lived in the first century b. c, as Stnibo mentions him as a contemporary, (xiv. 1, p. 182, ed. Tauchn.) He was a fellow-pupil of Heracleides of Erythrae (ibid.), and composed a long work on the opinions of the sect founded by Herophilus. (Cael. Aurel. De Morb. Acut. ii. 13, p. 110 ; Gal. De Differ. Puis. iv. 10, vol. viii. pp. 744, 746.) He also wrote on pharmacy (Cels. De Med. v. praef. p. 81 ; Pallad. Comm. in Hipp. vol. ii. p. 98 ; Gal. De Antid. ii. 7, 8, vol. xiv. pp. 143, 146), and is supposed to be the same person who is sometimes called " Apollonius Hero- phileius." . Apollonius Ophis (b "Ot^ts) is said by Erotianus {Gloss. Hipp. p. 8) to have made a com- pilation from the Glossary of difficult Hippocratic words by Baccheius ; he must therefore have lived about the first or second century b. c. He is sup- posed by some persons to be Apollonius Pergame- nus, by others Apollonius Ther. . Apollonius Organicus {^OpyaviK6s) is quoted by Galen {De Compos. Medicam. sec. Loc. V. 15, vol. xiii. p. 856), and must therefore have lived in or before the second century after Christ. Nothing is known of his life. . Apollonius Pergamenus {Tlepy&fjL-nvos) is supposed by some persons to be Apollonius Ophis, or Apollonius Ther. He was bom at Per- gamus in Mysia, but his date is very uncertain, since it can only be positively determined that, as he is quoted by Oribasius, he must have lived in or be- fore the fourth century after Christ. (Orib. Enpor. ad Eun. i. 9, p. 578.) He is probably the author of rather a long extract on Scarification preserved by Oribasius {Med. Coll. vii. 19, 20, p. 316), which is published by C. F. Matthaei in his Collection of Greek Medical Writers, entitled XXI. Veterumet Clarorum Medicorum Graecorum Varia Opiisada, Mosqu. 1808, 4to., p. 144. APOLLOPHANES. . Apollonius Pitanaeus was bom at Pita- nae in Aeolia, and must have lived in or before the first century after Christ, as an absurd and superstitious remedy is attributed to him by Pliny. {H. N. xxix. 38.) . Apollonius Senior (d Up€a€vTfpos) is quoted by Erotianus {Gloss. Hijyp. p. 86), and must therefore have lived in or before the first century after Christ. Some persons suppose him to be one of the physicians called Apollonius Antiochenus. . Apollonius Stratonicus {6 dmo 'S.rpa- r<avos) was probably not the son, but the pupil, of Strato of Beryta : he is very likely the same person as Apollonius Memphites, and may be supposed to have lived about the third century b. c. He was a follower of Erasistratus, and wrote a work on the Pulse, which is quoted by Galen. {De Differ. Puis. iv. 17, vol. viii. p. 759.) . Apollonius Tarsensis (o Tapanis) was born at Tarsus in Cilicia, and lived perhaps in the first or second century after Christ His prescrip- tions are several times quoted by Galen. {De Compos. Medicam. sec. Gen. v. 13, vol. xiii. p. 843.) . Apollonius Ther (d ©tJp) is supposed by some persons to be the same as Apollonius Ophis, or Apollonius Pergamenus. As he is quoted by Erotianus {Gloss. Hipp. p. 86), he must have lived in or before the first century after Christ. . Another physician of this name, who is mentioned by Apuleius {Met. ix. init.) as having been bitten by a luad dog, must (if he ever really existed) have lived in the second century after Christ ; and the name occurs in several ancient authors, belonging to one or more physicians, without any distinguishing epithet. [W. A. G.J APOLLO'PHANES {'AiroWocpdvns). 1. Of Antioch, a Stoic philosopher, wjis a friend of Ariston of Chios, on whom he wrote a work called 'Apl(TTwv. (Athen. vii. p. 281.) Diogenes Laertius (viL 140, comp. 92) mentions a work of his called (pvffiKTfi. His name also occurs in Tertullian. {De Anim. 14.) Some writers have asserted, though without any good reason, that ApoUophanes the Stoic was the same as ApoUophanes the physician who lived at the court of Antiochus. A later Stoic philosopher of this name occurs in Socrates {Hist. Eccl. vi. 19) and in Suidas. {s. v. 'npiyevrjs ; comp. Ruhnken, Dissert, de Vita et Script. Longini^ sect, vii.) . Of Athens, a poet of the old Attic comedy (Suid.), appears to have been a contemporary of Strattis, and to have consequently lived about 01. 95. (Harpocrat. s. v. dSeAcpi^eii/.) Suidas ascribes to him five comedies, viz. AaAts, 'Icpiyepocu, Kp^rey, Aavdri and Kevravpoi. Of the fonner three we still possess a few fragments, but the last two are completely lost. (Athen. iii. pp. 75, 114, xi. pp. 467, 485 ; Phot. Lex. s. v. fJLV(nKdp(p7]s ; Aelian, Hist. Ann. vi. 51 ; Phot. p. 624 ; Meineke, Hist. Crit. Comic. Grace, p. 266, &c.) . Of Cvzicus, was connected by friendship with the Persian satrap Pharnabazus, and afterwfirds formed a similar connexion with Agesilaus. Soon after this, Pharnabazus requested him to persuade Agesilaus to meet him, which was done accord- ingly'. (Xenoph. Hellen. iv. 1. § 29 ; Plut. AyesiL 12.) This happened in b. c. 396, shortly before the withdrawal of Agesilaus from the satrapy of Pharnabazus. [L. S.] APOLLO'PHANES (^ h.iroXKo<p6.vi)s a native of Selcuceia, and physician to Antiochus the Great, king of Syria, b. c. 223 — 187, with whom, as ap-
