Paxamus
Paxamus, or Paxamos (Greek: Πάξαμος), was an ancient Greek author from the Hellenistic period.[1][2][3] He wrote a cookbook (On Cooking) and a book on farming (On Farming).[1][2][3] Athenaeus, another Greek writer, mentioned Paxamus once in his book titled Deipnosophists.[1][2][3] Paxamus possibly created barley biscuits named after him called "paximathia".[2][3] He was quoted in the Geoponica, a Byzantine book on agriculture.[2][3]
