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]
