CÆLIUS or CELIUS, AURELIANUS, a very celebrated Latin physician, and the only one of the sect of the Methodici of whose works we have any remains. It is supposed that he was a native of Sicca in Numidia, and probably lived in the third century. He had carefully studied the ancient physicians of all sects; and to him we are indebted for a knowledge of many dogmas that are not to be found but in his work on Acute and Chronic Diseases. The best edi-
tion, perhaps, is that by Amman, Amstel., 1709, 4to. Cælius also wrote several other works, but these have perished.
