Philippus
30. Of THEANGELA (
ὁ Θεαγγελεύς), a writer cited by Athenaeus, (vi. p. 271b) and by Strabo (
xiv. p.662). Theangela, from which Philip received his designation, apparently as being a native of it, was a city on the most eastern promontory of Caria, not far from Halicarnassus. Of the age of Philip nothing is known, except that he was earlier than Strabo; but if there is any reason for identifying him with Philip Isangelus (
ὁ Εἰσαγγελεύς), mentioned by Plutarch (No. 14), he must be placed after the time of Alexander the Great.

Περὶ Καρῶν καὶ Λελέγων σύγγραμμα ; and by Strabo more briefly,
