Nicostratus
Νικόστρατος
(Νικόστρατος), a physician, mentioned by Antiphianes the younger (ap. Ath. 13.51, p. 586; Harpocr. s. v. Ἀντίκυρα) as having left to a courtezan, at his death, a large quiartity of hellehore, whence she acquired the nick-name Anticyra. He is perhaps the same person whose medical formulae are frequently quoted by Andromachus (ap. Gal. Dè Compos. Medical. sec. Loc. 8.2, 9.6, vol. xiii. pp. 139, 308, and Aet. 3.1, 32, p. 478), and others, and who must, therefore, have lived in or before the first century after Christ.
