Lingōn (10 BCE – 95 CE)

ASKLĒPIADĒS PHARM., in GALĒN, CMLoc 9.4 (13.286 K.), records his anodyne, based on henbane and opium, and including Cretan-carrot seed (cf. KHARIKLĒS), euphorbia (cf. IOUBA), purethron, and saffron. The name seems derived from the Gallic tribe, cf. POLUBIOS 2.17.7, CAESAR BG 1.26.5–6, 1.40.11, STRABN 4.3.4, 4.6.11, and J.-H. Billy, Thes. Linguae Gallicae (1993).

Linos, pseudo (ca 250 – 150 BCE?)

“Linos” was the lamented, or a song for the lamented, but is listed by HIPPOBOTOS as a sage (DIOGENĒS LAËRTIOS 1.42); Diogenes Laërtios credits him with a verse cosmogony, entitled On the Nature of the World, of which IOANNĒS STOBAIOS quotes two excerpts: 1.10.5 on the essential unity and perpetual flux of all things, and 3.1.70 on avoiding gluttony; cf. Souda Lambda-572 (giving Thebes as the ethnic). He taught a Great Year of 10,800 years, HĒRAKLEITOS’ value (CENSORINUS 18.11), that the four elements were held together by three “bonds” (THEOLOGUMENA ARITHMETIGAE, p. 67 de Falco), and the special significance of the seven planets and seven days (Aristoboulos in Clement, Strom. 5.107.4).
