Aëtius of Amida
Aëtius of Amida (; Latin: ''Aëtius Amidenus''; fl. mid-5th century to mid-6th century) was a Byzantine Greek physician and medical writer, particularly distinguished by the extent of his erudition. Historians are not agreed about his exact date. He is placed by some writers as early as the 4th century; but it is plain from his own work that he did not write till the very end of the 5th or the beginning of the 6th, as he refers not only to Patriarch Cyril of Alexandria, who died 444,〔''tetrab.'' iii. ''serm.'' i. 24, p. 464〕 but also to Petrus ''archiater'', who could be identified with the physician of Theodoric the Great,〔''tetrab.'' ii. ''serm.'' iii. 110, p. 357〕 whom he defines a contemporary. He is himself quoted by Alexander of Tralles,〔Alexander of Tralles, xii. 8, p. 346〕 who lived probably in the middle of the 6th century. He was probably a Christian, which may account perhaps for his being confounded with Aëtius of Antioch, a famous Arian who lived in the time of the Emperor Julian. He is amongst the earliest recorded Greek physicians of the Christian faith.
== Life ==
Aëtius was born a Greek and a native of Amida (modern Diyarbakır, Turkey), a city of Mesopotamia,〔Photius, cod. 221〕 and studied at Alexandria, which was the most famous medical school of the age.
He traveled and visited the copper mines of Soli, Cyprus, Jericho, and the Dead Sea.
In some manuscripts he has the title of ''komēs opsikiou'' (), Latin ''comes obsequii'', which means the chief officer in attendance on the emperor.〔see Du Cange, ''Gloss. Med. et Inf. Latin.''〕
