Note 295 — Chapter V · —Alexander is severely wounded by an arrow within the stronghold of the Sudracae—The arrow is extracted by Critobulus
Reading edition
Pliny (vii. 37) mentions a Critobulus who acquired great celebrity by extracting an arrow from the eye of Philip, Alexander’s father. Arrian again says that some authors assigned the credit of the operation in Alexander’s case to Kritodêmos, a physician of Kôs, but others to Perdikkas.
