Menodotus of Nicomedia
Menodotus of Nicomedia (Greek: Μηνόδοτος ὁ Νικομηδεύς; 2nd century CE), in Bithynia, was a physician and Pyrrhonist philosopher[1]; a pupil of Antiochus of Laodicea; and tutor to Herodotus of Tarsus. He belonged to the Empirical school, and lived probably about the beginning of the 2nd century CE.[2] He refuted some of the opinions of Asclepiades of Bithynia,[3] and was exceedingly severe against the Dogmatists.[4] He enjoyed a considerable reputation in his day, and is several times quoted and mentioned by Galen.[5] He appears to have written some works which are quoted by Diogenes Laërtius, but are not now extant.
