He also tells of an annual festival at Pharos to his day which celebrated the translation. His agenda was to show that the LXX (which Philo used instead of the HB) was just as inspired as the original Hebrew.
Thomas, Philo lived in the city where the Septuagint was translated. He was there at the time of Christ. People read the book that he wrote. Nobody to my knowledge except you and Steve don't count him as a source. Steve says it seems to him he can't be trusted.

What do you think? Is Philo a source for their being a Septuagint?
