Philippus was a Greek writer of epigrams, who lived in the middle of the first century A.D.   He produced a compilation of his own epigrams and epigrams by various other poets of the preceding 150 years, which was called the "Garland of Philip"; much of this compilation has been preserved, because it was incorporated into the Greek Anthology.
