Aristoxenus ( Gr. Ἀριστόξενος) was a Greek physician of Asia Minor who was quoted by Caelius Aurelianus. [1] [2] He was a pupil of Alexander Philalethes and contemporary of Demosthenes Philalethes, [3] [4] and must therefore have lived around the 1st century BC. He was a follower of the teachings of Herophilos, [3] and studied at the celebrated Herophilean school at the village of Men-Carus, between Laodicea and Carura. He wrote a work Περὶ τῆς Ἡροφίλου Αἱρέσεως (On the Herophilean Sect, Latin: De Herophili Secta), of which the thirteenth book is quoted by Galen, [3] but which is no longer extant. [5]
