XXXII. Philiscus 1. (a) Suda on Philiscus: he was an orator from Miletus, who learned from Isocrates the orator. However, he first became a most excellent flute-player, which is why Isocrates would call him flute-borer. He wrote the following works: On Miletus, On the Amphictyonic League, On Rhetoric in two books and Isocrates Sentences. (b) Pseudo-Plutarch, Lives of the Ten Orators, Lysias: Philiscus, an acquaintance of Isocrates and friend of Lysias, wrote a poem to the latter, from which it is clear that Lysias was older, which is also made clear by what Plato writes. [There follows a poem on Lysias death.] A student of Isocrates according to the Vita of Isocrates (Or. Att. 2.4 b 26, p. 257 Westerm.). On Isocrates himself being called flute-borer by the comedians we have ancient sources (Meineke, Com. Frg. 2.764). Philiscus is named among the writers of treatises also by Dion. Hal. To Ammaeus p. 259, 5 f.; he is said to be an imitator of Isocrates by this same Isaeus p. 122, 12 f. and by Cicero de orat. 2.23.94. Many report that he was the teacher of Timaeus and Neanthes. On the time of his life cf. [Plut.] Life of the Ten Orators (Lysias) 836 c: There is an epigram to him by Philiscus, an acquaintance of Isocrates and companion of Lysias, which makes clear that he was more advanced in years. This is also evident from a passage by [the comedian] Plato, which runs as follows: Now, daughter of Kalliope, talkative Phrontis, You will show if you have some sense and have something beyond. For he who has changed into another form and in other Everyday clothing has assumed another body You need to give birth to some poem, announcer of virtue, As a gift for the dead Lysias and immortal crown A poem that would show everyone the love of friends in my soul And all mortals the virtue of the dead man.
