Archigenes of Apamea on Spleen and Pneumatic Medicine

Archigenes of Apamea practised in Rome in the early 2nd century CE, under Trajan and Hadrian. He had heard Agathinus of Sparta. Later writers group him with those who speak of πνεῦμα. Juvenal names him in Latin verse.

None of his complete books survive. Galen and Aëtius of Amida quote him. From those hosts, books on the pulse, on fevers, on drugs, and on women’s cases are reported.

What this site holds is On Inflammation of the Spleen and a modern gathering of unpublished fragments. A fragment here is a passage in a later Greek mouth, not Archigenes’s book.
