Surgery and the Medical Practice of Antyllus the Surgeon

Antyllus was a Greek surgeon of the Roman Imperial period, most likely in the 2nd century CE. Birthplace and life are unknown.

None of his books survive intact. Later compilers quote him: Oribasius in the 4th century CE, and further fragments in Aëtius of Amida and Paul of Aegina.

What this site holds is a fragment on clysters, preserved in those later Greek collections, on three reasons for the procedure. The rest of the surgical writing is quotation in hosts, not his autograph.
