] of whose personal history no particulars are known, and whose date is uncertain. He is supposed by Villoison to have lived after the time of Pompey the Great, [Jean-Baptiste Gaspard d'Ansse de Villoison, "Anecd. Graec." vol. ii. p. 179. note 1] that is, in the 1st century BC. By others he is considered to be much more ancient; yet other scholars place him as late as the second half of the 1st century AD. He is most probably the same person who is quoted by Galen simply by the name of "Aelius". [Galen, "De Compos. Medicam. secund. Locos." iv. 7, vol. xii. p. 730] He wrote several Greek medical works, which are still to be found in manuscript in different libraries in Europe, but as of the late 19th century none of these have ever been published. Some extracts from one of his works titled polytonic|Δυναμερόν [polytonic|Δυναμερόν is a word used by the later Greek writers, and is explained by Du Cange ("Gloss. Med. et Infim. Graecit.") to mean "vis, virtus". It is how­ever frequently used in the sense given to it in the text.] (Latin "Medicinalium Formularum Collectio"), are inserted by C. G. Kühn in one of his works, [Kühn, "Additam. ad Elench. Med. Vet. a J.A. Fabricio in "Bibl. Gr." Exhib."] and also by Bona. [Bona, "Tractatus de Scorbuto", Verona, 1781] Two other of his works are quoted or mentioned by Hieronymus Mercurialis. [Hieronymus Mercurialis, "Variae Lectiones", iii. 4; "De Venenis et Morbis Venenosis," i. 16, ii. 2] And also by Schneider in his prefaces to Nicander's "Theriaca", [p. xi] and "Alexipharmaca". [p. xix]
