Meges ( Greek: Μέγης; 1st century BC) was an eminent surgeon born at Sidon in Phoenicia, [1] who practised at Rome with great reputation and success, shortly before the time of Celsus, and therefore probably in the 1st century BC. [2] He wrote some works which are highly praised and several times quoted by Celsus, but of which nothing remains. He is, perhaps, the same person who is quoted by Pliny, [3] Galen, [4] and Scribonius Largus. [5] A Greek fragment by Meges is preserved by Oribasius. [6]
