Criton of Heraclea ((ギリシア語:Κρίτων), (ラテン語:Titus Statilius Crito, T. Statilius Crito)) was a 2nd-century (c.100 AD) Greek chief physician and procurator of Roman Emperor Trajan (98-117) in the campaign in Dacia.〔Galen, ''De Compos. Medicam. sec. Locos.'', i. 3, vol. xii.〕 He wrote a work on ''Cosmetics'' in four books, which were very popular in Galen's time and which contained almost all that had been written on the same subject by Heraclides of Tarentum, Cleopatra, and others. The contents of each chapter of the four books have been preserved by Galen, by whom the work is frequently quoted. He wrote also a work on ''Simple Medicines'' of which the fourth book is quoted by Galen;〔Galen, ''De Compos. Medicam. sec. Gen.'', ii. 11, vi. 1, vol. xiii.〕 he is also quoted by Aëtius and Paul of Aegina, and may perhaps be the person to whom one of the letters of Apollonius of Tyana is addressed.〔Apollonius of Tyana, ''Ep.'' xvii.〕 Criton also has a historical work, ''Getica'', about the history of Daco-Getae. ''Getica'' was at the basis of Trajan's own work, ''Dacica'' (or ''De bello dacico''), about his Dacian Wars. He is perhaps the author of a work on ''Cookery'', mentioned by Athenaeus.〔Athenaeus, xii. p. 516〕 None of his works seem to be extant, except a few fragments preserved by other authors. As Trajan's medic, Criton created a mixture consumed daily by the emperor. He is perhaps the person mentioned by Martial.〔Martial, ''Epigr. xi. 60. 6〕 == Titles of works == * ''Cosmetics'', a medical treatise * ''Simple Medicines'' * ''Getica'', a work on the history of the Getae 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Criton of Heraclea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
