	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.07.08 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Philo of Larissa's name is not a household word among students of ancient Greek philosophy.
		The main importance of this exercise is to fix as precisely as possible the chronological and other relations between Philo and certain older and younger contemporaries in the Academy -- primarily Clitomachus, Metrodorus of Stratonicea, Charmadas and Antiochus; there is also the question of the date and circumstances of Philo's move from Athens to Rome.
		Brittain suggests, indeed, that Philo did not presume to claim katalêpsis outside the domain of ordinary experience; he continued to be suspicious of any claims to knowledge (even of this less stringent variety) about philosophical matters.

	Reference Fresh : Article 'Philo of Byblos' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Philo of Byblos (Herennios Philon), (ca 64 - 141 CE) was an antiquarian writer of grammatical, lexical and historical works in Greek, whose name "Herennius" makes it appear that he was a client of the Consul suffectus Herennius Severus, through whom Philo could have achieved the status of a Roman citizen.
		Philo wrote a dictionary of synonyms, a collection of scientific writers and their works organized by category, a catalogue of cities with their famous citizens and a Vita of the Emperor Hadrian.
		Philo's Greek, Phoenician History was so extensively quoted by Eusebius of Caesarea in the 4th century, in his Praeparation evangelista, that the fragments have been assembled and translated (see References).

	Middle Platonism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Philo's main concern was with ethics, and he used his middle ground approach to formulate a detailed ethical theory in a manner never attempted by Arcesilaus or Carneades.
		The work of Philo of Alexandria (also called Philo Judaeus) is the most prominent and philosophically accomplished example of the Jewish-Hellenistic syncretism that flourished at Alexandria beginning at least as early as the translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek (the Septuagint), during the reign of Ptolemy II Philedelphus (285-247 B.C.).
		Philo describes the Logos in a two-fold manner, first as the sum total of the thoughts of God, and then as a hypostatization of those thoughts for the purpose of physical creation.

	Ancient Greek Skepticism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Philo was head of the Academy from about 110 to 79 B.C.E. His interpretation of Academic skepticism as a mitigated form that permits tentative approval of the view that survives the most dialectical scrutiny is recorded and examined in Cicero's Academica, and in the earlier version of this dialogue, the Lucullus.
		Philo apparently claimed that some sense-impressions very well may be true but that we nonetheless have no reliable way to determine which ones these are (Luc.
		Philo's innovation may have been to commit himself to the metaphysical claim that some impressions are indeed true by providing arguments to that effect.

	OUP: Philo of Larissa: Brittain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Philo (159-84 BC) was the leader of the Platonic Academy in its final period as an Athenian institution, and also the principal philosophical teacher of Cicero.
		Dr Brittain charts Philo's gradual rejection of the radical scepticism of Carneades (concluding with his notorious 'Roman Books' of 89 BC), and offers philosophical justifications for his initial position of modified scepticism and final advocacy of a fallibilist empiricism.
		Philo's controversial epistemological views are constructed through their historical context in the late Hellenistic Academy, his wider thought on the history of philosophy, ethics and rhetoric, and his controversies with his pupils Antiochus and Aenesidemus.

	Scepticism - Lecture 5a
		Around 110 BC Philo of Larissa is elected scholarch, and this event is seen by Sextus as inaugurating the so-called Fourth Academy.
		Although Philo had been one of Clitomachus’ pupils, he is linked with Metrodorus by Cicero; and it seems that upon his election, the epistemological stance officially associated with the Academy became one of epistemological fallibilism.
		By this point, Philo was apparently prepared to accept that if people employed methods of inquiry other than those advocated by the Stoics, they might even be able to arrive at opinions that were certainly true.

		To the Old Academy belonged Speusippus, Xenoerates, Heraclides of Pontus, Philip of Opus, Crates, and Crantor; Arcesilaus and Carneades are the principal representatives of the Middle Academy, while Philo of Larissa and Antiochus of Ascalon are the best-known members of the New Academy.
		Our sources of information concerning the history of the doctrines of the three Academies are for the most part secondary; they are scanty and cannot be relied upon in matters of detail.
		Philo of Larissa and Antiochus of Ascalon introduced into the Academy elements of Stoicism and Neo-Platonism which belong to the third period of Greek philosophy.

		As is evident in the philosophical writings of Philo's pupil Cicero, this in practice meant the adoption (in a tentative spirit) of many Stoic points of view.
		The next important ancient skeptic was Aenesidemus, who defected from Philo's Academy and revived Pyrrhonism in the early years of the first century B.C. “The Academics,” he said, “especially the ones now, sometimes agree with Stoic opinions and, to tell the truth, appear to be just Stoics in conflict with Stoics” (Photius, Bibl.

	Carneades
		From the time of his scholarchate until the dissolution of the Academy under its last leader, Philo of Larissa (159/8–84/3 B.C.E.), philosophy in the Academy and among the philosophers in its orbit largely took the form of interpreting Carneades.
		Someone who thinks this, is likely to see little point in keeping assent in reserve for a kind of certainty which he thinks is neither needed nor possible, though he cannot be certain of this any more than he can be of anything else.

	Footnotes to Philonic Nomenclature
		In passing we note that Philo is described as philosopher in the following Syriac text taken from the Anonymi auctoris Chronicon ad annum Christi 1234 pertinens (translation at Chabot (1952) 100): Pilatus autem post tribulationes quae ei acciderunt, seipsum necavit, ut scrip-sit Philo philosophus.
		66 Exceptions are, I think, the two references to Philo as author of the Wisdom of Solo-mon in Cassiodorus and Isidore of Seville and the reference to Philo in Arethas, where the term does no more than indicate Philo's ethnic origin.
		Above the text we read 'Outline of the translator or interpreter which precedes the books of Philo on Providence', but this may be simply the surmisal of Aucher the editor, as my colleague J. Weitenberg informs me. In this case it is also possible that the piece is of much later date.

		In this chapter, Hankinson discusses the origins of syncretism, or the growing convergence of Platonism, Aristotelianism, and Stoicism, focusing mainly on the Old Academy Platonists Speusippus and Xenocrates, the empiricist Stoic Posidonius, the lapsed sceptic Antiochus, and the orthodox Aristotelian Alexander of Aphrodisias.
		Hankinson also discusses Eudorus, Philo of Larissa, and Plutarch, as well as briefly noting the influential Primer on Plato's Doctrines by Alcinous.
		The importance of the Old Academy is its influence upon the development of later Platonic tradition; Proclus, for instance, credits Xenocrates with a distinction between transcendent and immanent causation that became a central feature of Middle Platonism.
