Of Cos, a doctor, a pupil of Hippocrates. Summoned by Hecatomnus, the king of Caria, to cure his sons Mausolus and Pixodarus when they were desperately ill, he did cure them, on condition that Hecatomnus promise to end the war which was then in progress between them and the Carians. He wrote a Book for Doctors in 1 [volume] and On Prognoses in 2.

Notes:
Early C4 BCE.
Dexippos, mentioned only in the Suda (here and in the derivative pi 1627), was evidently part of a considerable intellectual coterie at the Hecatomnid court; see in brief Simon Hornblower in The Cambridge Ancient History (second edition) 6.231. For Hecatomnus see epsilon 367.
