Philome§LUS

(Φιλόμηλος), one of the witnesses to the will of Theophrastus, who died B. C. 287 (Diog. Laeat. 5.57). He is perhaps the same with Philomelus, mentioned by Numenius, the Pythagoreo-Platonic philosopher, in connection with Mnaseas and Timon, as belonging to the school of the sceptics. (Euseb. P. E. xiv. p. 731, ed. 1688). [W.M.G]
