Dio'genes
(
Διογένης), a Greek PHYSICIAN who must have lived in or before the first century after Christ, as he is quoted by Celsus. (
De Medic. 5.19, 27, pp. 90, 104.) Some of his medical formulae are preserved by Celsus (
l.c.), Galen (
de Compos. Medicam. sec. Locos, 3.3, vol. xii. p. 686 ; 9.7, vol. xiii. p. 313), and Aetius (1.3. 109, p. 135).
He is probably not the same person with any of the other individuals of this name.
