Clodius
Κλώδιος, another form of the name Claudius, just as we find both caudex and code, claustrum and clostrum, cauda and coda. In the latter times of the republic several of the Claudia gens, adopted exclusively the form Clodius, others were called indifferently., sometimes Claudius and sometimes Clodis : their lives are given under Claudius.
1. A physician, who must have lived in the first century B. C., as he was a pupil of Asclepiades of Bithynia. One of his works is quoted by Caelius Aurelianus (De Morb. Chron. 4.9, p. 545; De Morb. Acut. 3.8, p. 217) with reference to ascarides.
2. L. Clodius, a native of Ancona, who was employed by Oppianicus to poison Dinea in the first century B. C., and who is called by Cicero (Cic. Clu. 100.14) "pharmacopola circumforaneus," may perhaps be the same person as the preceding, though it is scarcely probable. [W.A.G]
