[1090] φως, light; φώς, a man.
[1094] Migne’s text has ἀποκάλυψις. The emendation ἀπόληψις is preferable.

[1096] Gal. iii. 23-25. [Here the schoolmaster should be the child-guide; for the law leads us to the Master, says Clement, and we are no longer under the disciplinary guide, but “under the Word, the master of our free choice.” The schoolmaster then is the Word, and the law merely led us to his school.]
[1101] [Clement here considers all believers as babes, in the sense he explains; but the tenderness towards children of the allusions running through this chapter are not the less striking.]
[1103] 1 Cor. xiii. 11. [A text much misused by the heretical gnostics whom Clement confutes.]
