In accentual-syllabic verse we could describe a bacchius as a foot that goes like this:

Its opposite is a bacchius.

He wrote a work on part of the Hippocratic collection directed against Bacchius, and also one on botany, neither of which has survived.

He was a pupil of Herophilus, a contemporary of Bacchius, and a predecessor of Serapion.

(Bacchius, in Franklin, Diatonic Music in Ancient Greece.)

Epicles (Epiklês) was an Ancient Greek medical writer who lived after Bacchius, and therefore probably in the 2nd or 1st century BC.

He lived after Herophilus, Callimachus, Bacchius, and Glaucias; and apparently before Zeno; and his date may therefore be placed around the middle of the 3rd century BC.

It printed works, in Greek originals with Latin translation, by Aristoxenos, Cleonides (though attributed to Euclid) Gaudentius, Nicomachus, Alypius, Bacchius, and Aristides Quintilianus (supported by Martianus Capella).

(Bacchius, in Franklin, 'Diatonic Music in Ancient Greece'.) The Harmonists drew geometrical pictures so that the intervals of various scales could be compared visually; they thereby located the intervals in a pitch space.

Among the other physicians who belonged to this sect there were: Apollonius of Citium, Glaucias, Heraclides, Bacchius, Zeuxis, Menodotus, Theodas, Herodotus of Tarsus, Aeschrion, Sextus Empiricus, and Marcellus Empiricus.
