Philo, Publilius
or POBLI'LIUS. Respecting the orthography, see PUBLILIA GENS. This family of the Publilii claimed descent front the celebrated Volero Publilius who was tribune of the plebs B. C. 472; and accordingly we find the two Philones, who were consular tribunes in B. C. 400 and 399 respectively, described as grandsons of Volero. [See below, Nos. 1 and 2.]
