PHILIP
The work, in its complete state, consisted of five books: but most of the MSS. are mutilated or otherwise defec- tive, 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 (In- golstadt, 1G04, 4to) ; but it was made from a mutilated copv. and consisted of only four books, and these, as the translator admits in his Prcefaiio ad Lectorem, interpo- lated and transposed ad libitum. Philip wrote also, Tip Kara ■JTVtvfia vi(p icai iiptl Kwi'dravTivip irtpi Ttpto- fliiag icai npooTaaiac cnroXoyoc, Epistola Apologetica ad Constantinum Filium Spiritualern et Sacerdotem, de Differentia inter Intercessianem <t Auxilium Sanctorum: — Versus Politici, in the beginning of which he states with great exactness the time of his finishing the Di- optra, 12th May, A.M. 6603, a?ra Constantinop. in the third indiction. in the tenth year of the lunar cycle = A.D. 1095, not 1105, as has been incorrectly stated. 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 secun- da),"On ovk tepaye to vopiKvv Ti'aa\a 6 Xpiorbc tv nfj SttT7V([j, d\\a to d\ri$iv6v, Demonstraiio quod ( 'hristus in Sacra Cana non legale sed verum comederit Pascka, may have been written by Philip. Its arguments are derived from Scripture and Epiphanius. The other work, consisting of five chapters, De Fide et Co rt rnoniis Armenwrum, Jacobitarum, Chalzitzariorum <t Eoma- norum seu Francorum, was published, with a Latin ver- sion, but without an author's name, in the A uctarium Norma of Combefis (Par. 1648, vol. ii, col. 261, etc.), but was, on the authority of MSS., assigned by Combe- fis, in a note, to Demetrius of Cyzicus, to whom it ap- pears rightly to belong (comp. Cave, Hist. Lilt. Disser- tatio I, p. G ; Fabricius, Bibl. Graze, xi, 414 ). The ( hai- zitzarii (Xaj%(7%<ip(0() 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 (posthumous) volume of the Bibliotheca Patrum of Gal- land; but the editors, in their Prolegomena to the vol- ume, c. 15, observe that they knew not on what author- ity Galland had assigned it to Philip. Among the pieces given as Appendices to the Dioptra. are some verses in praise of the work and its author, by one Con- stantine, perhaps the person addressed in No. 2, and by Bestirs, or Vestus, a grammarian. l'r<\ot icroiou Kwi'- OTavrivov kci'i Bi-aruv too ypapfiariKOV, Versus Do- mini Cnnstantini it ]'isti Crammatid.
