Archibius ( Ancient Greek: Ἀρχίβιος) was a Greek surgeon, of whom no particulars are known, but who must have lived in or before the first century CE, as he is quoted by both Heliodorus [1] and Galen. [2] [3]
The naturalist Pliny the Elder mentions a person of the same name who wrote a superstitious letter to Antiochus, king of Syria; but it is uncertain which king is meant, nor is it known that this Archibius was a physician. [4]
