Important writings came from Avicenna of Persia ( 1000) and Maimonides, court physician to Saladin and rabbi of Cairo ( 200). These texts exerted an enormous influence for nearly 500 years. Finally, Paracelsus ( 1525), a Swiss physician, made the important declaration that all things are poisons...solely the dose determines that a thing is not a poison. This concept is the cornerstone of modem toxicology. 

Paul of Aegina was the last of the physicians of the Byzantine culture to practice in Alexandria, which fell to the Arabs in his professional lifetime in 642 ad. He refers to both mithridatium and ther-iac. Paul of Aegina was a link between Greek medicine and Mohammedan medicine. His book was used by Rhazes (854-930 ad), one of the greatest of the Arab physicians. Avicenna (980-1037 ad) approved of mithridatium as an antidote to poisons, and Maimonides, a Jew bom in Moslem Spain, was also familiar with mithridatium. Mithridatium re-entered Western medicine culture by two routes. A Saxon leechbook of the eleventh century records that Abel, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, sent mithridatium or theriac to King Alfred the Great, who died on 26 October 899 (Stenton, 1947).
