A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

(Καλλίμορφος), an armysurgeon attached to the sixth legion or cohort of contarii, who lived probably in the second century after Christ. He wrote a work entitled Ἱστοριαὶ Παρθικαί, Historia Parthica, which may perhaps have been an account of Trajan's campaigns, A. D. 114-116, and in which, according to Lucian (Quom. Histor. sit Conscrib. § 16), he asserted that it was especially the province of a physician to write historical works, on account of his connexion, through Aesculapius, with Apollo, the author of all literature.
