Abstract
In the horizons of ancient medicine Rufus form Ephesus seems a learned and experienced doctor in every branch of his profession. He was particulary interested in children's breeding and in their illnesses. For this reason it is very important to gather and comment the passages survived where the subjects on childhood are treated.
