Apollo'nides
2. Another Greek physician, who must have lived in the first or second century after Christ, as he is said by Galen (
de Caus. Puls. 3.9, vol. ix. pp. 138, 139) to have differed from Archigenes respecting the state of the pulse during sleep. No other particulars are known of his history; but he is sometimes confounded with Apollonius of Cyprus, a mistake which has arisen from reading
Ἀπολλωνίδον instead of
Ἀπολλωνίδον in the passage of Galen where the latter physician is mentioned. [APOLLONIUS CYPRIUS.] He may perhaps be the same person who is mentioned by Artemidorus (
Oneirocr. 4.2), and Aetius (tetrab. ii. serm. 4.100.48. p. 403), in which last passage the name is spelled
Apolloniades. (Fabricius,
Bibl. Gr. vol. xiii. p. 74, ed. vet.)
