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