Crisamis

2. The ninth of the family of the Asclepiadae, the son of Sostratus II., and the father of Cleomyttades II., who probably lived in the ninth and eighth centuries B. C. (Id. ibid.) He is called "king Crisamis" (Paetus, Epist. ad Artax., in Hippocr. Opera, vol. iii. p. 770), but the country over which he reigned is not mentioned. By some writers he is said to have been the father, not of Cleomyttades II., but of Theodorus II.
