I've been working to develop this article from a stub. Here is what it still lacks:

• a section on the value of the De medicamentis to Celtic linguistics.
• at least two other perspectives for the "Therapeutic system" section (for instance, whether he's really "empirical" or not).
• expansion of the section on the ms. tradition and editions.
• a section that places Marcellus in the tradition of Hellenistic magic.
• a couple of sample recipes.

The references could probably use some reformatting. - Drilnoth ( talk) 16:37, 19 December 2008 (UTC) reply
