2. A physician at Edessa, one of whose medicines is quoted by Aetius (2.2. 91, p. 292), and who attained the dignity of Archiater. He must have lived between the second and fifth centuries after Christ, as the office of Archiater was first conferred on Andromachus, the physician of Nerc. (Dict. of Ant. s. v. Archiater.)
