Galen de antidotis Andromachus the Elder pharmacologySettore L-FIL-LET/02 - Lingua E Letteratura Grecadescription
In the antidote Galēnē by Andromachus the Elder (14.32.113-42.8 K) ) we nd (14.40.5) the noun ἀγλαΐην, «brightness», that causes some exegetical problems. Galen, however, commenting on the Galēnē in the rst book of his de antidotis, conms this term and re- commends that it should not be considered as an ingredient of the antidote. In a late ma- nuscript, the Parisinus gr. 2164, the term ἀγλαΐην is corrected into the adjective αἰγλῆεν, that could refer to the white pepper. Here I suggest that this conjecture should be consi- dered for a critical restitution of Andromachus’ text, in spite of Galen’s authority
