Abstract · Traces of Apollonius Mys’ Treatise On Perfumes in Pliny the Elder: Methods of Recovering and Reusing a Lost Work · The only passage from the writing On Perfumes by Apollonius Mys – an Alexandrian physician of the school of Erophilus – is preserved by Athenaeus, who reports it as a direct quotation. However, we also find traces of the same passage in Pliny the Elder (Nat. 13, 4-6), who takes it from other authors and reworks it. The article examines Pliny’s chapters and asks how the naturalist (or his sources) re-elaborated and re-employed Apollonius’ text.
