Menemachus

Menemachus, (Greek: Μενέμαχος), a Greek physician born at one of the cities named Aphrodisias, who belonged to the Methodic school of medicine, and lived in the 2nd century.^[1] He wrote some works which are not now extant, and is probably the physician quoted by Caelius Aurelianus,^[2] Galen,^[3] and Oribasius.^[4] The Menemachus, however, who is quoted by Celsus,^[5] is not the same person, and must have lived at least a century earlier.
