Philip of Opus
Philip (or Philippus) of Opus ((ギリシア語:Φίλιππος Ὀπούντιος)), was a philosopher and a member of the Academy during Plato's lifetime. Philip was the editor of Plato's Laws. Philip of Opus is probably identical with the Philip of Medma (or Mende), the astronomer, who is also described as a disciple of Plato.
==Plato's ''Laws'' and ''Epinomis''==
According to Diogenes Laërtius, Philip of Opus was a disciple of Plato,〔Diogenes Laërtius, iii. 37, 46〕 who was responsible for transcribing Plato's ''Laws'' into twelve books, and writing the thirteenth book (the ''Epinomis'') himself:
Some say that Philip the Opuntian transcribed his () work, ''Laws'', which was written in wax (tablets coated with wax ). They also say that the ''Epinomis'' (thirteenth book of the ''Laws'' ), is his.〔Diogenes Laërtius, iii. 37〕
In the ''Suda'', Philip is listed anonymously under the heading of ''philosophos'' ("philosopher"), his name being lost from the beginning of the entry:
Philosopher who divided the ''Laws'' of Plato into 12 books; for he himself is said to have added the 13th. And he was a pupil of Socrates and of Plato himself, occupied with the study of the heavens. Living in the time of Philip of Macedon, he wrote the following: ''On the distance of the sun and moon''; ''On gods''; ''On time''; ''On myths''; ''On freedom''; ''On anger''; ''On reciprocation''; ''On the Opuntian Lokrians''; ''On pleasure''; ''On passion''; ''On friends and friendship''; ''On writing''; ''On Plato''; ''On eclipse(s) of the moon''; ''On the size of the sun and moon and earth''; ''On lightning''; ''On the planets''; ''Arithmetic''; ''On prolific numbers''; ''Optics''; ''Enoptics''; ''Kykliaka''; ''Means''; etc.〔(Suda, ''Philosophos'' )〕
Since the entry is located under the heading ''philosophos'', the defect presumably existed in the source from which the ''Suda'' borrowed. It was not until the 18th century when Ludolf Küster, the editor of the ''Suda'',〔Ludolf Küster, ''Suidae Lexicon'', Cambridge, 1705〕 identified this anonymous entry with the Philip of Opus mentioned by Diogenes Laërtius.
