Note 1823 — BOOK XX. REMEDIES DERIVED FROM THE GARDEN PLANTS. (continued 2)
John Bostock translation
It is doubtful if the person of this name to whom Pliny attributes a work on the Cabbage, in cc. 34 and 36 of this Book, was the same individual as Epicharmus of Cos, the Comic poet, born B.C. 540. It has been suggested that the botanical writer was a different personage, the brother of the Comic poet Demologus.
