Cleodemus

(Κλεόδημος Μάλχος), an historian of uncertain date. He wrote a history of the Jews, to which we find reference made by Alexander Polyhistor in a passage quoted from the latter by Josephus. (Ant. 1.15.) The name of Malchus is said to be of the same meaning in Syriac as that of Cleodemus in Greek. [E.E]

(Κλεόδημος), the name of a physician introduced by Plutarch in his Septem Sapientum Convivium (100.10, ed. Tauchn.), and said to have used cupping more frequently than any other physician of his age, and to have brought that remedy into great repute by his example, in the first century after Christ.
