Andronicus (physician)
Andronicus (Ancient Greek: Ἀνδρόνικος) was an ancient Greek physician.
Andronicus was mentioned by Theodorus Priscianus,[1] and also by Galen,[2] and can thus be dated in or before the second century. No other particulars are known respecting him; but it may be remarked, that the Andronicus quoted several times by Galen with the epithet Peripateticus or Rhodius, is probably another person. Both André Tiraqueau[3] and Johann Albert Fabricius[4] referred to him as "Andronicus Ticianus," but this is considered a mistake by later scholars, as Andronicus and Titianus appear to have been two different persons.
