Adamantius

Adamantius was an ancient physician, bearing the title of iatrosophist. Little is known of his personal history, except that he was Jewish by birth, and that he was one of those who fled from Alexandria at the time of the expulsion of the Jews from that city by the Patriarch Cyril of Alexandria in 415. He went to Constantinople, was persuaded to convert to Christianity, apparently by Archbishop Atticus of Constantinople, and then returned to Alexandria.
