I think that would be "Gerth".

Philippus is given in Andrew's onomasticon (not to be confused with *the*
Onomasticon, which exists in full only in Ill Bethisad) as Philip /fI'lip/.
Running "Benedictus" through the lat2bri algorithm gives "beneddth", which
is obvious nonsense, so Andrew will have to rule on it.
