Moschion (physician)
Moschion, (Template:Langx), is a physician quoted by Soranus,<ref>ap. Galen, De Compos. Medicam. sec. Loc., i. 2, vol. xii.</ref> Andromachus,<ref>ap. Galen, De Compos. Medicam. sec. Loc., vii. 2, vol. xiii.</ref> and Asclepiades Pharmacion,<ref>ap. Galen, De Compos. Medicam. sec. Gen., iii. 9, vol. xiii.</ref> who lived in or before the 1st century. He may be the same person who was called the "Corrector" (Template:Langx), because though he was one of the followers of Asclepiades of Bithynia, he ventured to controvert his opinions on some points.<ref>Galen, De Differ. Puls., iv. 16, vol. viii.</ref>
A physician of the same name is mentioned also by Soranus,<ref>Soranus, De Arte Obstetr.</ref> Plutarch,<ref>Plutarch, Sympos., iii. 10.2</ref> Alexander of Tralles,<ref>Alexander of Tralles, i. 15</ref> Aëtius<ref>Aëtius, iv. 3.13</ref> Pliny,<ref>Pliny, H. N., xix. 26.4</ref> and Tertullian.<ref>Tertullian, De Anima, c. 15</ref>
In Byzantine times, a Latin treatise on gynecology by an otherwise unknown Muscio was translated into Greek; this author came to be wrongly identified with Moschion.<ref>Owsei Temkin, (1991), Soranus' Gynecology, page xlv. JHU Press</ref>
