Theophanes Nonnus or Nonnos, originally Theophanes Chrysobalantes or Chrysobalantites (Greek: Θεοφάνης Χρυσοβαλάντης or Χρυσοβαλαντίτης, fl. c. 950) was a Byzantine physician who wrote an outline of medicine dedicated to either Emperor Constantine Prophyrogenitus (probably Constantine VII).
Identity
The extant manuscripts identify the author as Theophanes; the name Nonnus was apparently fabricated by the copyist Andreas Darmarios. The name Chrysobalantes was either an epithet or a variant of the documented Byzantine family name Chrysobalantites. (Sonderkamp, 1984)
