a Roman praenomen (Πόπλιος) is found in many manuscripts and editions instead of Publilius. [Publilia Gens.]
is placed in the lists of artists as a Roman painter of animals, on the strength of an epigram of Martial (1.109), in which the poet celebrates the beauty of an Issian bitch, and of its portrait; but whether Publius was the owner or the painter of the animal, or both, is not perfectly clear. [P.S]
a physician who is quoted by Andromachus (ap. Galen. De Compos. Medicam. sec. Loc. 9.4, De Compos. Medicam. sec. Gen.2.15, 5.13, vol. xiii. pp. 281, 533, 842), and who must therefore have lived in or before the first century after Christ. He is by some persons supposed to have been one of Galen's tutors, but this is undoubtedly a mistake; as, besides the chronological difficulty, it is probable that in the passage which has given rise to this opinion (De Compos. Medical. sec. Gen. 5.14, vol. xiii. p. 852) Galen is quoting the words of Asclepiades Pharmacion, and not speaking in his own person; and also that the term ὁ καθηγητής is used merely as a sort of honorary title [comp. Lucius, p. 1127]. He is quoted also by Marcellus Empiricus, De Medicam. 100.29, p. 378. [W.A.G]
