Aristoxenus (physician)

Aristoxenus (Gr. ) was a Greek physician of Asia Minor who was quoted by Caelius Aurelianus.Caelius Aurelianus, On Acute and Chronic Diseases iii. 16, p. 233 He was a pupil of Alexander Philalethes and contemporary of Demosthenes Philalethes,Galen, De Differ. Puls. iv. 10, vol. viii. p. 743-746 and must therefore have lived around the 1st century BC. He was a follower of the teachings of Herophilos, and studied at the celebrated Herophilean school at the village of Men-Carus, between Laodicea and Carura. He wrote a work (On the Herophilean Sect, Latin: De Herophili Secta), of which the thirteenth book is quoted by Galen, but which is no longer extant.Mahne, "Diatribe de Aristoxeno," Amstel. 1793 octavo
