Capitoli'nus, Ma'nlius
4. M. Manlius Capitolinus, T. F. A. N., the famous deliverer of the Capitol from the Gauls, was consul in B. C. 392 with L. Valerius Potitus.
An insignificant war was carried on in that year against the Aequians, for which Manlius was honoured with an ovation, and his colleague with a triumph. Rome was visited at the time by a pestilence, and as the two consuls were seized with it, they were obliged to abdicate, and an interreign followed. In B. C. 390, when the Gauls one night endeavoured to ascend the Capitol, Manlius, whose residence was on the Capitol, was roused from his sleep by the cackling of the geese, and on discovering the cause of it, he and as many men as he could collect at the moment hastened to the spot where the Gauls were ascending, and succeeded in repelling them.
This gallant and successful deed was rewarded the next day by the assembled people with all the simple and rude honours and distinctions which were customary at the time.

Phily'llius
(*Filu/llios), an Athenian comic poet, contemporary with Diocles and Sannyrio (Suid. s. v. *Dioklh=s).
He belongs to the latter part of the Old Comedy, and the beginning of the Middle; for, on the one hand, he seems to have attained to some distinction before the time when the Ecclesiazusae of Aristophanes was acted, B. C. 392 (Schol. ad Aristoph. Plut. 1195), and, on the other, nearly all the titles of his plays belong evidently to the Middle Comedy.
He is said to have introduced some scenic innovations, such as bringing lighted torches on the stage (Schol. Plut. l.c. Ath. 15.700, e.).
With regard to his language, Meineke mentions a few words and phrases, which are not pure Attic. His name is corrupted by the Greek lexicographers and others into *Fillu/lios, *Filai=os, *Filo/laos, *Fillu/deos. and other forms.
The following titles of his plays are given by Suidas and Eudocia, and in the following order:--*Ai)geu/s, *Au)/gh, *)/Anteia (e(tai/ras o)/noma), *Dwdeka/th, *(Hr
