(), a Greek physician, who is supposed by
Tiraquellus (De Nobilitate, 100.31), and after him by Fabricius (Bibl. Gr. vol. xiii. p. 58, ed. vet.), to be the same person as Andreas of
Carystus [ANDREAS]; this, however, is a mistake which has
arisen from their reading Andron in Pliny (Andreas. He is mentioned by
Athenaeus (xv. p. 680e.), and several of his medical prescriptions are preserved by Celsus,
Galen, Caelius Aurelianus, Oribasius, Aetius, Paulus Aegineta, and other ancient writers. None
of his works are in existence, nor is anything known of the events of his life; and with
respect to his date, it can only be said with certainty that, as Celsus is the earliest author
who mentions him (De Med. 5.20, 6.14, 18, pp. 92, 132, 133, 134), he must
have lived some time before the beginning of the Christian era. (Le Clerc, Hist. de la Méd. ; C. G. Kühn, Index Medicorum Oculariorum
inter Graecos Romanosque, Fascic. i. p. 4, Lips., 4to., 1829.)
