Ptolemaeus

（*Ptolemai=os), a surgeon, one of whose medical formulae is quoted by Celsus (De Med. 6.7. 2, p. 126), and who must, therefore, have lived in or before the first century after Christ. He is perhaps the same person whose opinion on the cause of dropsy is quoted by Caelius Aurelianus (De Morb. Chiron. 3.8. p. 479), and who is called by him a follower of Erasistratus. Perhaps also he is the physician whose medical formulae are quoted by Asclepiades Pharmacion (ap. Galen. De Comepos. Medicam. sec. Loc. 2.2, vol. xii. p. 584; see also ibid. 4.7. p. 789, De Compos. Mlledicam. sec. Gen. 5.14, vol. xiii. pp. 849, 853.)

[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.
