Philoxenus (physician)

Philoxenus or Claudius Philoxenus (Greek: Φιλόξενος), a Greco-Egyptian surgeon, who, according to Celsus,[1] wrote several valuable volumes on surgery. He is no doubt the same person whose medical formulae are frequently quoted by Galen, and who is called by him Claudius Philoxenus.[2] As he is quoted by Asclepiades Pharmacion,[3] he must have lived in or before the 1st century. He is quoted also by Soranus,[4] Paul of Aegina,[5] Aëtius,[6] and Nicolaus Myrepsus,[7] and also by Avicenna.[8]
