Excerpt from The General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 1: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation; Particularly the British and Irish; From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time

Aaron, a presbyter of Alexandria, the author of thirty books on physio in the Syriac tongue, which he called the Pandects. They were supposed to be written before 620, and were translated out of the Syriac into Arabic, by Maserjawalh, a Syrian Jew, and a physician in the reign of the calif Merwan, about A. D. 683; for then the Arabians began to cultivate the sciences and to study physio. In these he has clearly described the small-pox, and the measles, with their pathognomonic symptoms, and is the first author that mentions those two remarkable dis eases, which probably first appeared and were taken notice of at Alexandria in Egypt, soon after the Arabians made themselves masters of that city, in A. D. 640, in the reign of Omar Ebnol Chatab, the second successor to Moham med. But both those original Pandects, and their transla tion, are now lost; and we have nothing of them rem'ain ing, but what Mohammed Rhazis collected from them, and has left us in his Continens; so that we have no certain account where those two diseases first appeared; but it is most probable that it was in Arabia F oelix, and that they were brought from thence to Alexandria by the Arabians, when theyo took that city.

Aaron (st.) 3. Briton, who suifered martyrdom with another, St. Julius, doting the persecution under the em peror Dioclesian, in the year 303, and about the same time with St. Alban, the protomartyr of Britain. What the British names of Aaron and Julius were, we are not told; nor have we any particulars of their death. They had each a church erected to his memory in the' City of caer-leon, the antient metropolis of Wales, and their festival is placed, in the Roman Martyrology, on the first of July.
