From Wikipedia - Reading time: 2 min
Mantias, (Greek: Μαντίας; 3rd century BC) a Greek physician who was the tutor of Heraclides of Tarentum,[1] and one of the followers of Herophilus;[2] and who lived therefore most probably in the 3rd century BC. Galen says that he was no ordinary physician,[3] and that he was the first who wrote a regular work on pharmacy.[4] His works on the subject, which are several times quoted by Galen, are lost, but the titles of some of them have been preserved.[5]
