(Πολυείδης), a Greek physician who must have lived in or before the first century after Christ, as he is quoted by Celsus [*](* In some editions of Celsus he is called Polybus, or Polybius ; but upon comparison of these passages with the other authors who mention him, it appears most probable that the true reading is Polyides.) (De Med. 5.20.2, 26.23, 6.7.3, pp. 91, 100, 127) and Andromachus (ap. Gal. De Compos. Medicam. sec. Gen. 5.12, vol. xiii. p. 834).
