^The IAU cites Norma Olin Ireland's Index to the Women of the World as their source for the name "Anicia" as that of an ancient Greek poet; she gives it as an alternative name for Anyte of Tegea. Kate Campbell Hurd-Mead calls Anyte a physician on the basis of a story in
Pausanias which tells of her curing a blind man after a visit from the god Asclepius.
