Plistonicus

Plistonicus (or Pleistonicus, Greek: Πλειστόνικος), was an ancient Greek physician, a pupil of Praxagoras,^[1] who therefore lived in the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. He appears to have written a work on anatomy,^[2] which is several times mentioned by Galen,^[3] who calls him one of the most eminent physicians of his time.^[4] He is quoted by Pliny,^[5] Athenaeus,^[6] Oribasius,^[7] and Gariopontus.^[8] None of his writings have survived.
