Themison

3. A slave of Appuleins, the author of the " Golden Ass," who lived in the second century after Christ. (Appul. Apol. pp. 39, 46, 55, ed. 1635)

Haller mentions in his list of physicians " Themison Macedo, Antiocho carus," and refers to Athen. vii. [§ 35. p. 289], but this appears to be a mistake.
