Apollonios of Kition (or Apollonius of Citium; Greek: Ἀπολλώνιος ὁ Κιτιεύς), was a physician (fl. c. 60 BC) belonging to the Empiric school of thought. He studied medicine in Alexandria under the surgeon Zopyrus, but he lived in Kition (now Larnaca).[1] Another theory is that he studied medicine in Kition[2] although it is not clear whether a medical school existed at the time.
Drawing from the book Περὶ Ἄρθρων ("On Joints"). Apollonios is believed to be the main operator.
