PHILO, HERENNIUS

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 413 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PHILO, HERENNIUS , of Byblus, Greek grammarian, was born, according to Suidas, in A.D. 42. He lived into the reign of Hadrian, of which he wrote a history, now lost. He was the author of various works: On the Acquisition and Choice of Books; On Cities and their Famous Men, epitomized by the grammarian Aelius
Serenus
 , and one of the
chief
  authorities used by Hesychius and Stephanus of Byzantium; On Synonyms, of which there is extant an epitome by Ammonius Grammaticus. But he is chiefly known for his
translation
  of the Phoenician history of Sanchuniathon, who was said to have lived before the Trojan war. Of this
work
  considerable fragments have been preserved, chiefly by
Eusebius
  in the Praeparatio evangelica (i. 9, ro; iv. 16). They present a euhemeristic rechauffe of Phoenician theology and mythology, which is represented as translated from the
original
  Phoenician. Sanchuniathon is probably an imaginary personage, whose name is formed from that of the Phoenician god Sanchon.
Editions of the fragments by J. C.
Orelli
  (1826) and C. Muller, Frag. hist. graec. vol. iii. In 186 F. Wagenfeld brought out what claimed to be a complete
translation
  by
Philo
  (from a MS. discovered in a convent in Portugal, now considered spurious). There are English translations by I. P.
Cory
  (1828) and
Bishop
  R. Cumberland (1720).
