Philu'menus

（*Filou/menos), a Greek physician, mentioned by an anonymous writer in Dr. Cramer's "Anecdota" (Anecd. Graeca Paris. vol. iv. p. 196) as one of the most eminent members of his profession. Nothing is known of the events of his life, and with respect to his date, as the earliest author who quotes him is Oribasius (Coll. Medic. 8.45, p. 361; Synops. iii. pp. 45, 49, 8.6, 8, 11, 17, pp. 121, 122, 123, 124), it can only be said that he must have lived in or before the fourth century after Christ.

Works

De Medicina

None of his writings are extant, but numerous fragments are preserved by Aietius (see Fabric. Bibl. Gr. vol. viii. p. 328, eli. vet.). He is quoted also by Alexander Trallianus (8.5, 8, pp. 246, 251), and Rhazes (Cont. v. i).

[W.A.G]

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
