Zeuxis of Tarentum (Ancient Greek: Zεῦξις), 3rd century BC, was a physician of the Empiric school, who wrote commentaries on the works of Hippocrates.
He was a native of Tarentum,[1] one of the earliest commentators on the writings of Hippocrates,[2] and also one of the earliest of the Empiric school.
[3] He lived after Herophilus, Callimachus,[4] Bacchius,[5] and Glaucias;[6] and apparently before Zeno;[7] and his date may therefore be placed around the middle of the 3rd century BC.
He expounded the whole of the Hippocratic Collection,[8] but his commentaries were not much esteemed in Galen's time, and had become scarce.
