Thayer's Greek Lexicon

Φίλιππος, -ov, ὁ, Philip ; 1. ason of Herod the Great by his fifth wife, Cleopatra of Jerusalem (Joseph. antt. 17, 1,3), and by far the best of his sons. He was tetrarch of Gaulanitis, Trachonitis, Auranitis, Batanea, and (ace. to the disputed statement of Lk. iii. 1) of Iturea also [ef. Schiirer as below; but see B. D. Am. ed. s. v. Iturzea]; and the founder of the cities of Caesarea Philippi (in the Decapolis) and Julias. After having lived long in celibacy, he married Salome, the daughter of Herod [Philip, the disinherited ; see below] his halfbrother (Joseph. antt. 18, 5,4). He ruled mildly, justly and wisely thirty-seven years, and in A. D. 84died without issue, leaving a erateful memory of his reign in the minds of his subjects (Joseph. antt. 18, 2, 1 and 4, 6; b. j. 2, 9,1): Mt. xvi. 13; Mk. viii. 27; Lk. iii. 1; ef. Keim in Schenkel iii. p. 40 sqq.; Schiirer, Neutest. Zeitgesch. § 17, a.; [BB. DD.]. In Mt. xiv. 3; Mk. vi. 17, and Lk. iii. 19 Ree. it is said that his wife was Herodias (see Ἡρωδιάς) ; thus Herod, the son of Herod the Great by Mariamne the daughter of the hich-priest Simon (Joseph. antt. 18,5, 1; b.j. 1, 28,4), who lived as a private citizen in comparative obscurity and was the first husband of Herodias (Joseph. antt. 18, 5, 4), seems to have been confounded with Philip, who as a ruler was better known (ef. Volkmar, Ueber ein. histor. Irrthum in den Evangg., in Zeller’s Theol. Jahrbb. for 1846, p. 363 sqq-). Many interpreters (see esp. Krebs, Observwv. ete. Ρ. 87 sq.; [Deyling, Observv. sacr. vol. ii. (ed. 2) p. 342 sqq-]), in vindication of the Evangelists, make the somewhat improbable conjecture that the first husband of Herodias had two names, one a family name Herod, the other a proper name Philip; [yet so Winer, RWB. s. v. Philippus, 5; BB. DD.; Gerlach in the Zeitschr. f. Luth. Theol. for 1869, p. 32 sq.; Meyer on Mt. 1. c.; Weiss on ΜΚ. 1. e.]. 2. Philip of Bethsaida [in Galilee], one of the apostles: Mt.x. 3; Mk. iii. 18; Lk. vi. 14; Jn. i. 43-48 (44-49); vi. 5, 7; xii. 21 sq.; xiv. 8sq.; Acts i. 18. 3. Philip, one of the seven deacons of the church at Jerusalem, and also an ‘evangelist’ (εὐαγγελιστής, 4.ν.): Acts vi. 5; viii. 5-40; xxi. 8.

Φίλιππος [page 670] For this common name see P Hib I. 62 .1 (B.C. 245) Φίλιππος Πτολεμαίωι χαίρειν , and the other citations in Preisigke s Namenbuch. In C. and B. ii. p. 552 W. M.

Εὐ γένιιος ὁ ἐλάχιστος ἀρχιδιάκονος᾽ κὲ ἐφεστὼς᾽ τοῦ ἀγίου κὲ ἐνδόχου ἀποστόλου κὲ θεολόγου Φιλίππου , as affording a clear proof that a church (doubtless the church) of Hierapolis was dedicated to St. Philip. The inscr. further shows that the local tradition was attached to Philip the Apostle,
