Philinus of Cos ( Greek: Φιλῖνος ὁ Κῷος; 3rd century BC) was a Greek physician. He was the reputed founder of the Empiric school. He was a pupil of Herophilus, a contemporary of Bacchius, and a predecessor of Serapion. [1] He wrote a work on part of the Hippocratic collection directed against Bacchius, [2] and also one on botany, [3] neither of which has survived. It is perhaps this later work that is quoted by Athenaeus, [4] Pliny , [5] and Andromachus. [6]
