Argelius

Argelius was an ancient writer who wrote a work on the Ionic temple of Aesculapius in Tralles (modern Aydın), of which he was said to have been the architect.[1] He also wrote on the proportions of the Corinthian order.[2] His time is unknown, but as he is mentioned by the writer Vitruvius, we know he lived in or before the 1st century BCE.[3]
