This paper focuses on demonstrating the weakness of the traditional date for Galen's death. It shows that there are good grounds from both within the Galenic Corpus and outside it for thinking that he lived at least until he was eighty. Information from Byzantine and Arab scholars from the sixth century onwards suggests that he had died in the reign of Caracalla, perhaps in 216.
本文着重论证传统的盖伦去世日期有误。文中表明，无论是从盖伦著作集内部还是外部来看，都有充分理由认为他至少活到了八十岁。从公元6世纪起，拜占庭和阿拉伯学者提供的信息表明，他死于卡拉卡拉统治时期，可能是在公元216年。
