Aristo'xenus
(
*)Aristo/cenos), a Greek physician, quoted by Caelius Aurelianus (
De Moro. Acut. 3.16, p. 233), who was a pupil of Alexander Philalethes (Galen.
De Differ. Puls. 4.10, vol. viii. p. 746), and must therefore have lived about the beginning of the Christian era.
He was a follower of Herophilus (
ibid. 100.7. p. 734), and studied at the celebrated Herophilean school of medicine, established in Phrygia, at the village of Men-Carus, between Laodicea and Carura.
He wrote a work
Περὶ τῆς ῾Ποφίλου Αἱρέσεως,
De Herophili Secta, of which the thirteenth book is quoted by Galen (
ibid. 100.10. p. 746), and which is not now extant. (Mahne, "Diatribe de Aristoxeno," Amstel. 1793, 8vo.)
