Note 1817 — BOOK XX. REMEDIES DERIVED FROM THE GARDEN PLANTS. (continued 2)
John Bostock translation
A Greek physician, supposed to have lived in or before the first century B.C. Dioscorides and Saint Epiphanius speak of Petronius and Diodotus, making them different persons; and it is not improbable that the true reading in c. 32 of this Book, is “Petronius et Diodotus.”
