Numisianus, ( Greek: Νουμισιανός; 2nd century) an eminent Greek physician at Corinth, whose lectures Galen attended c. 150, having gone to Corinth for that very reason. [1] He was, according to Galen, [1] the most celebrated of all the pupils of Quintus, and one of the tutors to Pelops, [2] and distinguished himself especially by his anatomical knowledge. He wrote a commentary on the Aphorisms of Hippocrates, [3] which appears to have been well thought of in Galen's time.
