Andreas (physician)
Andreas () was the name of several physicians in ancient Greece, whom it is difficult to distinguish from each other. Andreas Comes, quoted several times by Aëtius of Amida was certainly the latest of all, whose title "Comes" here meant " Comes archiatrorum". He probably lived shortly before Aetius himself (that is, in the fourth or fifth century AD), as this title was only introduced under the Roman emperors.
