Aristarchus (physician)

• Aristarchus, a Greek physician, of whom no particulars are known, except that he was attached to the court of Berenice, the wife of Antiochus II Theos, king of Syria, around 261-246 BCE, and persuaded her to entrust herself to the hands of her enemy Laodice I after Antiochus's death. This unfortunately ended in the execution of Berenice and her infant son.
• Aristarchus, another physician of obscure history, whose medical prescriptions are quoted by later and more renowned writers such as Galen and Sicamus Aëtius. He appears to have been a native of Tarsus in Cilicia.
