Zeuxis of Tarentum ( Ancient Greek: Zεῦξις), 3rd century BC, was a physician of the Empiric school, who wrote commentaries on the works of Hippocrates.
He was a native of Tarentum, [1] one of the earliest commentators on the writings of Hippocrates, [2] and also one of the earliest of the Empiric school. [3] He lived after Herophilus, Callimachus, [4] Bacchius, [5] and Glaucias; [6] and apparently before Zeno; [7] and his date may therefore be placed around the middle of the 3rd century BC. He expounded the whole of the Hippocratic Collection, [8] but his commentaries were not much esteemed in Galen's time, and had become scarce. [9]
