Proper name: HERAS ('Upas), a physician of Cappadocia, who lived after Heracleides of Tarentum (Galen, De Compos. Medicam. sec. Gen. v. 6, vol. xiii. p. 812), and before Andromachus (Galen, De Com- pos. Medicam. sec. Loc. vi. 9, vol. xii. p. 989), and therefore probably in the first century b. c. He wrote some works on pharmacy, which are very frequently quoted by Galen, but of which nothing but a few fragments remain. Ilis prescriptions oia ​quoted also by other ancient medical writers, and he may perhaps be the physician mentioned by Martial {Epigr. vi. 78. 3). See C. G. Kuhn, Additam. ad Elench. Medic. Vet. a J. A. Fabric. in Bibl. Graeca ' exUhitum. (Wikisource | public domain)
