Came'lius

one of the physicians of Augustus, who appears to have lived after Artorius, and to have been succeeded by Antonius Musa. Pliny in rather an obscure passage (H. N. 19.38), tells us, that he would not allow the emperor to eat lettuce in one of his illnesses, from the use of which plant afterwards, at the recommendation of Antonius Musa, he derived much benefit.

[W.A.G]
