Polyarchus

（*Polu/arxos), a Greek physician, who is mentioned by Celsus (De Med. 5.18.8, 8.9.1, pp. 86, 177), and must, therefore, have lived in or before the first century after Christ. He appears to have written a pharmaceutical work, as some of his prescriptions are several times quoted by Galen (De Compos. Medicam. sec. Loc. 8.5, vol. xiii. pp. 184, 185, 186, De Compos. Medicam. sec. Gen. 7.7, vol. xiii. p. 981), Aetius (2.4. 57, 3.1. 34, 3.2. 14, pp. 415, 481, 530), Marcellus (De Medicam. 100.20, p. 339), and Paulus Aegineta (De Re Med. 3.68, 70, 74, 7.18, pp. 486, 487, 489, 684); but of his writings only these extracts remain.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
