PHILO OF BYZANTIUM

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

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PHILO OF BYZANTIUM , Greek writer on
mechanics
 , flourished during the latter half of the 2nd
century
  B.C. (according to some, a
century
  earlier). He was the author of a large
work
  Mip avu(i) uuvraEcs), of which the fourth and (in epitome) fifth books are extant, treating of missiles, the construction of fortresses, provisioning, attack and defence (ed. R. Schone, 1893, with German
translation
  in H. Kochly's Griechische Kriegsschriftstelkr, vol. i. 1853; E. A. Rochas d'Aiglun, Poliorcetique des Grecs, 1872). Another portion of the
work
 , on pneumatic engines, has been preserved in the form of a Latin
translation
  (De ingeniis spiritualibus) made from an Arabic version (ed. W. Schmidt, with German translation, in the works of
Heron
  of
Alexandria
 , vol. i., in " Teubner
Series
 ," 1899; with French translation by Rochas, La Science des philosophes . . . dans l'antiquite, 1882).
A little treatise On the Seven Wonders of the World, wrongly attributed to
Philo
 , probably belongs to the 6th century A.D. It is printed in R. Hercher's Aelian (1858).
