Sophist. 491), specialized in improvisation, allowing his audience to propose subjects (for this sense of , cf. Philostratus, ibid., 482, 529).

page 312 note 5 Galen's wording does not show clearly whether or not Favorinus was still alive in 163; might imply that he was dead, and this is probable if he is rightly supposed to have be born ca. 80 (as by Mensching, E., Favorin von Arelate [1963], 1 n. 2).Google Scholar
