Theudas of Laodicea (Greek: Θευδάς ό Λαοδικεύς) was a Pyrrhonist philosopher[1] and physician of the Empiric school,[2] in the 2nd century. He is mentioned by Diogenes Laërtius as being a native of Laodicea in Syria, a pupil of Antiochus of Laodicea, and a contemporary of Menodotus.[3] A physician of this name is also quoted by Andromachus.[4]
