Absyrtus ( Ancient Greek : ?ψυρτο? ) was an Ancient Greek veterinary surgeon .

History [ edit ]

Absyrtus was one of the principal veterinary surgeons of whom any remains are still extant. According to the Suda and Eudokia Makrembolitissa , he was born either at Prusa or Nicomedia in Bithynia (modern-day Turkey ). ^{[1] [2] [3]} He is said to have served under "Constantine" in his campaign on the Danube , which is generally supposed to mean Constantine the Great , in 322 CE, but some refer it to that under Constantine IV in 671 CE.

His writings are to be found in the Veterinariae Medicinae Libri Duo , first published in Latin by Jean Ruel , ^[4] and afterwards in Greek by Simon Grynaeus . ^[5] Christian Konrad Sprengel published a little work titled Programma de Apsyrto Bithynio . ^[6]
