Numisianus

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.
