Headword: *fila/grios
Adler number: phi,295
Translated headword: Philagrios, Philagrius
Vetting Status: high
Translation:

A Lycian from Makra,[1] as one finds in Eugenator.[2] But as he himself says in his letter to Philemon about hardening of the liver,[3] Philagrios would be, rather, an Epeirote; doctor, pupil of Nausimachios, of the period after Galen.[4] He did most of his doctoring in Thessalonike, compiling medical books: 70 single volumes, many other composite works, and commentaries on Hippocrates.[5]
