[lit-ideas] Mikkalos

Re: Mikkalos.

It's in PLOTINUS (Loeb, vol. 1).

The text reads (p.  25)

"There was also a medical man [attending Plotinus's 'classes'],
Paulinus of Scythopolis, whom Plotinus used to call
Mikkalos [Míkkalos] -- he always got things wrong."

"parakousmáton  pláre gegonónta"

Clue -- anyone? I should check with the Liddell/Scott Greek lexicon online.  
Have just checked 'mikk-' to no avail, other than a spelling variant of  
'mikros', small.
