Aeschines (physician)
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Aeschines (Gr. Αἰσχίνης) was an ancient physician who lived in the latter half of the 4th century.[1] He was born on the island of Chios, and settled at Athens, where he appears to have practiced with very little success, but acquired great fame by a happy cure of Eunapius Sardianus, who on his voyage to Athens had been seized with a fever of a very violent kind, which yielded only to treatment of a peculiar nature.[2]
Another Athenian physician of this name is quoted by Pliny,[3] of whom it is only known that he must have lived some time before the middle of the 1st century AD.
