From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Philip
      lover of horses. (1.) One of the twelve apostles; a native of
      Bethsaida, "the city of Andrew and Peter" (John 1:44). He
      readily responded to the call of Jesus when first addressed to
      him (43), and forthwith brought Nathanael also to Jesus (45,46).
      He seems to have held a prominent place among the apostles
      (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18; John 6:5-7; 12:21, 22; 14:8, 9; Acts
      1:13). Of his later life nothing is certainly known. He is said
      to have preached in Phrygia, and to have met his death at
      Hierapolis.
     
         (2.) One of the "seven" (Acts 6:5), called also "the
      evangelist" (21:8, 9). He was one of those who were "scattered
      abroad" by the persecution that arose on the death of Stephen.
      He went first to Samaria, where he laboured as an evangelist
      with much success (8:5-13). While he was there he received a
      divine command to proceed toward the south, along the road
      leading from Jerusalem to Gaza. These towns were connected by
      two roads. The one Philip was directed to take was that which
      led through Hebron, and thence through a district little
      inhabited, and hence called "desert." As he travelled along this
      road he was overtaken by a chariot in which sat a man of
      Ethiopia, the eunuch or chief officer of Queen Candace, who was
      at that moment reading, probably from the Septuagint version, a
      portion of the prophecies of Isaiah (53:6,7). Philip entered
      into conversation with him, and expounded these verses,
      preaching to him the glad tidings of the Saviour. The eunuch
      received the message and believed, and was forthwith baptized,
      and then "went on his way rejoicing." Philip was instantly
      caught away by the Spirit after the baptism, and the eunuch saw
      him no more. He was next found at Azotus, whence he went forth
      in his evangelistic work till he came to Caesarea. He is not
      mentioned again for about twenty years, when he is still found
      at Caesarea (Acts 21:8) when Paul and his companions were on the
      way to Jerusalem. He then finally disappears from the page of
      history.
     
         (3.) Mentioned only in connection with the imprisonment of
      John the Baptist (Matt. 14:3; Mark 6:17; Luke 3:19). He was the
      son of Herod the Great, and the first husband of Herodias, and
      the father of Salome. (See HEROD PHILIP I. ¯T0001763)
     
         (4.) The "tetrarch of Ituraea" (Luke 3:1); a son of Herod the
      Great, and brother of Herod Antipas. The city of
      Caesarea-Philippi was named partly after him (Matt. 16:13; Mark
      8:27). (See HEROD PHILIP II. ¯T0001764)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Philippi
      (1.) Formerly Crenides, "the fountain," the capital of the
      province of Macedonia. It stood near the head of the Sea, about
      8 miles north-west of Kavalla. It is now a ruined village,
      called Philibedjik. Philip of Macedonia fortified the old
      Thracian town of Crenides, and called it after his own name
      Philippi (B.C. 359-336). In the time of the Emperor Augustus
      this city became a Roman colony, i.e., a military settlement of
      Roman soldiers, there planted for the purpose of controlling the
      district recently conquered. It was a "miniature Rome," under
      the municipal law of Rome, and governed by military officers,
      called duumviri, who were appointed directly from Rome. Having
      been providentially guided thither, here Paul and his companion
      Silas preached the gospel and formed the first church in Europe.
      (See {LYDIA}.) This success stirred up the enmity of the
      people, and they were "shamefully entreated" (Acts 16:9-40; 1
      Thess. 2:2). Paul and Silas at length left this city and
      proceeded to Amphipolis (q.v.).
     
         (2.) When Philip the tetrarch, the son of Herod, succeeded to
      the government of the northern portion of his kingdom, he
      enlarged the city of Paneas, and called it Caesarea, in honour
      of the emperor. But in order to distinguish it from the Caesarea
      on the sea coast, he added to it subsequently his own name, and
      called it Caesarea-Philippi (q.v.).
