Aegimus
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "For". Aegimus or Aegimius (Script error: No such module "Lang". or Script error: No such module "Lang".) was one of the most ancient of the Greek physicians, who is said by Galen to have been the first person who wrote a treatise on the pulse.[1] He was a native of Velia in Lucania, and is supposed to have lived before the time of Hippocrates, that is, in the 5th century BC. His work was entitled Script error: No such module "Lang". (Lat. De Palpitationibus, a name which alone sufficiently indicates its antiquity), which is no longer extant.
Athenaeus (2nd century AD) mentions that Callimachus (3rd century BC) used to have a work by "Aegimius" that described the art of making cheesecakes (Script error: No such module "Lang".),[2] and Pliny the Elder mentions a person of the same name who was said to have lived two hundred years;[3] but whether these are the same or different individuals is quite uncertain.[4]
