Androni'cus
(
*)Andro/nikos), a Greek PHYSICIAN, mentioned by Galen (
De Compos. Medicam. sec. Locos, 7.6, vol. xiii. p. 114) and Theodorus Priscianus (
Rer. Mledic. 1.18, 2.1, 6, pp. 18, 37, ed. Argent), who must therefore have lived some time before the second century after Christ. No other particulars are known respecting him; but it may be remarked, that the Andronicus quoted several times by Galen with the epithet
Peripateticus or
Rhodius, is probably quite another person.
He is called by Tiraquellus (
De Nobilitate, 100.31), and after him by Fabricius (
Bibl. Gr. vol. xiii. p. 62, ed. vet.), "Andronicus Ticianus," but this is a mistake, as Andronicus and Titianus appear to have been two different persons.
