It is addressed to another monk, Callinicus ; and begins with these two lines : — Uws Koidri ; ttws dfjifpi/xvels ; irm a^eAets, ^p^X^ fMOV ; 'O XPoVos orou ire7rTjpan-at • e^eXOe rod (xapKiov. The work, in its complete state, consisted of five books; but most of the MSS. are mutilated or otherwise defective, and want the first book. Some of them have been interpolated by a later hand. Michael Psellus, not the older writer of that name, who died about a. d, 1078, but one of later date, wrote a preface and notes to the Dioptra of Philip. A Latin prose translation of the Dioptra by the Jesuit Jacobus Pontanus, with notes, by another Jesuit, Jacobus Gretserus, was published, 4to. Ingoldstadt, 1604; but it was made from a mutilated copy, and consisted of only four books, and these, as the translator admits in his Praefatio ad Lector-em, interpolated and trans- posed ad libitum. Philip wrote also : — 2.

Cave has, without sufficient authority, ascribed to our Philip two other works, which are indeed given in a Vienna MS. (Codex 213, apud Lambec.) as Appendices to the Dioptra. One of these works {Appendix secunda), "Ort ovK eipaye to vojxikov TrdiTxa o Xpiards iu t^ Selirvcp, dWci rd dri6iv6v, Demonstratio quod Christus in Sacra Coena non legale sed verum come- derit Pascha, may have been written by Philip. Its arguments are derived from Scripture and St. Epi- phanius. The other work, consisting of five chapters, De Fide et Caeremoniis Armeniorum, Jacohitarum, Ckatzitzariorum et Romanorum sen Francorum, was published, with a Latin version, but without an author's name, in the Auctarium Novum of Com- befis, fol. Paris, 1648, vol. ii. col. 261, &c., but was, on the authority of MSS., assigned by Combefis, in a note, to Demetrius of Cyzicus [Demetrius, No. 17], to whom it appears rightly to belong (comp. Cave, Hict. Litt. Dissertatio /. p. 6 ; Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. xi. 414). The Chatzitzarii (Xar- (iT^dpioi) were a sect who paid religious homage to the image of the Cross, but employed no other images in their worship. The work of Demetrius appears under the name of Philip in the fourteenth (post- His recentiores SfioioTeKevTa, pariter cadentium exitum,quem rhythmum (rhyme) dicimus,addidere.

The measure is retained in English as a ballad measure, and may be illus- trated by the old ditty of " The Unfortunate Miss Bayley," the first two lines of which closely re- semble in their cadence those cited in the text : — quarters, Seduced a maid who hung herself one morning in her garters," &c.

Among the pieces given as Appendices to the Dioptra, are some verses in praise of the work and its author, by one Constantino, perhaps the person addressed in No. 2, and by Bestus or Vestus, a grammarian, STt'xot Kvpov KwvtTTavTivov Ka BefTTou Tov ypafi- fjLaTiKov, Vef'sus Domini Constantini et Vesti Gram- matici.

In the notice of the Adversaria Gerardi Langbaini contained in the Catalogus MStorum Angliae et Hiberniae, vol. i. p. 269, the eighth volume of Langbaine's collection is said to contain a notice, De Philippi Studitae Hisioria Graeca. Of the historian or his work there is, we believe, no notice in any extant writer ; and as the preceding article in Langbaine's book is described as Scholae Alexandririae Paedagogorum Successio, and is probably the fragment of the work of Philip of Side, already noticed [No. 26], we suspect that " Studitae" is an error for " Sidetae," and that the Historia Graeca is no other than his Ilistoria Christiana, which is termed Graeca, not because it treats of Grecian affairs, but is written in the Greek language. {Catal. MStorum Angliae, ^c. I. c. ; Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. xi. p. 709.) 30. Of Theangela (o 06O77eAeus), a writer cited byAthenaeus (vi. p. 271, b) and by Strabo (xiv. p. 662). He wrote a history of Caria, the title or description of which is thus given by Athenaeus {I.e.), IlepJ Kapuliv Ka h^X^ywv (Tvyypajxjm; and by Strabo more briefly, KapiKo. The work is lost. Theangela, from which Philip received his desig- nation, apparently as being a native of it, was a city on the most eastern promontory of Caria, not far from Halicarnassus. Of the age of Philip nothing is known, except that he was earlier than Strabo ; but if there is any reason for identifying him with Philip Isangelus (o Y-laayyeXevs), men- tioned by Plutarch (No. 14), he must be placed after the time of Alexander the Great. (Vossius, De Hist. Graec. lib. iii.) 31. Theopompi Epitomator. (Comp. Photius, Biblioth. cod. 176.) 32. Of Thessalonica. [See below.] [J. CM.] PHILIPPUS, of Thessalonica, an epigram- matic poet, who, besides composing a large number of epigrams himself, compiled one of the ancient Greek Anthologies. The whole number of epi- grams ascribed to him in the Greek Anthology is nearly ninety; but of these, six (Nos. 36 — 41) ought to be ascribed to Lucillius, and a few others are manifestly borrowed from earlier poets, while others are mere imitations. [Comp. above, Phi- Lippus, literary, Nos. 10 and 15.] They include nearly all the different classes of subjects treated of in the Greek epigrammatic poetry. The Anthology {'AvdoXoyla) of Philip, in imi- tation of that of Meleager, and as a sort of supple- ment to it, contains chiefly the epigrams of poets who lived in, or shortly before, the time of Philip. These poets were the following: Antipater of Thessalonica, Crinagoras, Antiphilus, Tullius, Phi- lodemus, Parmenion, Antiphanes, Automedon
