<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A probably [[Ephebe|Ephebian]] philosopher, who wrote and illustrated the scroll ''[[Bestiary]]'' which was memorised by the prophet [[Brutha]] for eventual re-copying at the [[Omnia]]n library, but which otherwise was thought lost in the burning of the [[Library of Ephebe]]. <br />

"Philo-" is the Greek prefix meaning "love of" whatever follows, e.g. philosophy: ''philo'' (love of) ''sophia'' (wisdom, learning).<br />
<br />
Possibly below the belt, but the technical terms for the practice of sexual contact with animals are ''zoophilia'' (psychiatric/medical) and ''bestiality'' (legal). Quite apart from establishing a connection with the unfortunately named [[Bestiality Carter]], this poses intriguing questions about Philo's underlying motivation for creating this scroll...<br />
