  • Philippus of Thessalonica(1st century) or Philippus Epigrammaticus was the compiler of an Anthology of Epigrammatists subsequent to Meleager of Gadara and is himself the author of 72 epigrams in the Greek Anthology. Philippus has one word which describes the epigram by a single quality; he calls his work an oligostikhia or collection of poems not exceeding a few lines in length. Philippus' own epigrams, of which over seventy are extant, are generally rather dull,chiefly school exercises, and, in the phrase of Jacobs, /imitatione magis quam inventione conspicua/. But we owe to him the preservation of a large mass of work belonging to the Roman period.
  • Filip de Tessalònica (Philippus, Φίλιππος) fou un poeta epigramàtic grec del temps de l'emperador Trajà, que va compondre gran nombre d'epigrames i va compilar una de les antigues antologies gregues coneguda com l'antologia de Filip de Tessalònica (Αντηολογψ) que inclou epigrames de poetes del segle I i alguns d'anteriors, com Antípater de Tessalònica, Crinàgores, Antífil, Tul·li, Filòdem de Gadara, Parmenió, Antífanes, Automedó, Bianor, Antígon, Diodor el jove, Evenos i altres (el més antic es Filòdem del segle I aC i el més modern Automedó contemporani de Nerva). A l'antologia grega hi ha diversos epigrames suposadament seus (uns noranta) però una part no són realment seus.
