Philip bishop of Crete, that is of the city of Gortina, whom Dionysius mentions in the epistle which he wrote to the church of the same city, published a remarkable book Against Marcion and flourished in the time of Marcus Antoninus Verus and Lucius Aurelius Commodus.

Philippus, episcopus Cretensis, hoc est, urbis Gortynae, cujus Dionysius 871 in epistola sua meminit, quam scripsit ad ejusdem civitatis Ecclesiam, praeclarum adversum Marcionem edidit librum, temporibusque M. Antonini Veri, et L. Aurelii Commodi claruit.

Φίλιππος ἐπίσκοπος Κρήτης πόλεως Γορτύνης, οὗτινος Διονύσιος ἐν τῇ ἐπιστολῇ 872 αὐτοῦ μέμνηται, ἣν ἔγραψε πρὸς τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν προειρημένης πόλεως, ἔνδοξον πανὺ κατὰ Μαρκίωνος ἐξέδωκε βίβλον, ( Forte supplendum καὶ) ἐν τοῖς καιροῖς τῶν προειρημένων διέπρεψεν.
