Was Dioskourides a lapidary? Think carefully first, then make a decision:

A lapidary is a person or machine who cuts gemstones; classically, it refers to a person who engraves gemstones. Dioskourides put his signature on a Roman amethyst ringstone with a portrait of Demosthenes circa late 1st century BC. Artists sign their work. So, the answer is yes.
