Note 377 — LIFE OF ANTONIUS.
George Long translation
Amphissa was a town of the Locri Ozolæ.
Philotas studied at Alexandria, which was then a great school of medicine. We have here an anecdote about Antonius which rests on more direct testimony than many well-received stories of modern days.
The bragging physician must have been a stupid fellow to be silenced by such a syllogism. I have translated πως πυρέττων, like Kaltwasser, “Wer einigermassen das Fieber hat,” &c., which is the correct translation.
The text probably means that Philotas was appointed physician to Antyllus.
