Andron

(Ἄνδρων).

1. Of Alexandria, whose work entitled Χρονικὰ is referred to by Athenaeus. (iv. p. 184b.)

2. Of Ephesus, who wrote a work on the Seven Sages of Greece, which seems to have been entitled Τρίπους. (D. L. 1.30, 119; Schol. ad Pind. Isth. 2.17; Clem. Alex. Strom. i. p. 332b.; Suid. and Phot. s. v. Σαμίων ὁ δῆμος; Euseb. Praep. Ev. 10.3.)

3. Of Halicarnassus, a Greek historian, who is mentioned by Plutarch (Thes.100.25) in conjunction with Hellanicus. (Comp. Tzetzes, ad Lycophr. 894, 1283; Schol. ad Aesch. Pers. 183.)

4. Of Teos, the author of a Περίπλους (Schol. ad Apoll. Rhod. 2.354), who is probably the same person as the one referred to by Strabo (ix. pp. 392, 456, 475), Stephanus of Byzantium, and others. He may also have been the same as the author of the Περὶ Συγγενειῶν. (Harpocrat. s. v. Φορβαντεῖον; Schol. ad Apoll. Rhod. 2.946.) Comp. Vossius, De Histor. Graec. p. 285, ed. Westermann.

(Ἄνδρων), a sculptor, whose age and country are unknown, made a statue of Harmonia, the daughter of Mars and Venus. (Tatian, Orat. in Graec. 55, p. 119, Worth.) [P.S]

(Ἄνδρων), a Greek physician, who is supposed by Tiraquellus (De Nobilitate, 100.31), and after him by Fabricius (Bibl. Gr. vol. xiii. p. 58, ed. vet.), to be the same person as Andreas of Carystus [Andreas]; this, however, is a mistake which has arisen from their reading Andron in Pliny (Plin. Nat. 20.76) instead of Andreas. He is mentioned by Athenaeus (xv. p. 680e.), and several of his medical prescriptions are preserved by Celsus, Galen, Caelius Aurelianus, Oribasius, Aetius, Paulus Aegineta, and other ancient writers. None of his works are in existence, nor is anything known of the events of his life; and with respect to his date, it can only be said with certainty that, as Celsus is the earliest author who mentions him (De Med. 5.20, 6.14, 18, pp. 92, 132, 133, 134), he must have lived some time before the beginning of the Christian era. (Le Clerc, Hist. de la Méd. ; C. G. Kühn, Index Medicorum Oculariorum inter Graecos Romanosque, Fascic. i. p. 4, Lips., 4to., 1829.) [W.A.G]
