Zoilus
Ζώϊλος
(Ζώϊλος), a physician, who must have lived in or before the first century after Christ, as he is quoted by Andromachus the younger (ap. (Gal. De Compos. Medicam. sec. Loc. 3.1, vol. xii. p. 632). He appears to have given particular attention to diseases of the eye, as he is called ὁ ὀφθαλμικός. Several of his medical formulae are preserved by Galen (ibid. 4.8, pp. 752, 763, 771; De Antid. 2.12, vol. xiv. p. 178), Alexander Trallianus (2.5, p. 173), Aetius (2.3. II, 113. pp. 304, 360, 361), and Nicolaus Myrepsus (24.25. p. 658). See C. G. Kühn, Index Medicor. Ocularior. inter Graecos Romanosq. Fascic. xi.
