 Harpocration mentions three orations of Philinus.These are "Against the statues of Sophocles and Euripides", which was against a proposition of Lycurgus that statues should be erected to those poets; "Against Dorotheus", which was ascribed likewise to Hyperides; "Judiciary litigation of the Croconidae against the Coeronidae", which was ascribed by others to Lycurgus.An ancient grammarian, quoted by Clement of Alexandria, says that Philinus borrowed from Demosthenes.
