Philonides ( Greek: Φιλωνίδης) was the name of two physicians in the time of Ancient Greece and Rome:
- A physician of Catana in Sicily, the tutor of Paccius Antiochus, [1] who lived about the beginning of the 1st century. He is probably the physician who is quoted by Dioscorides, and said by him to have been a native of Enna in Sicily; [2] by Erotianus; [3] and also by Galen, who refers to his eighteenth book, Περὶ Ἰατρικῆς, De Medicina. [4]
- A physician of Dyrrachium in Illyricum, who was a pupil of Asclepiades of Bithynia in the 1st century BC, practiced in his own country with some reputation, and wrote as many as 45 books. [5]
One of these physicians wrote a work, Περὶ μύρων καὶ Στεφάνων, De Unguentis et Coronis, which is quoted by Athenaeus, [6] and one on Pharmacy quoted by Andromachus, [7] and by Marcellus Empiricus. [8]
