Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[1374] [A passage not to be overlooked. Greek, μυστικὸν σύμβολον.]
[1376] ἀνθοσμίας. Some suppose the word to be derived from the name of a town: “The Anthosmian.”
[1378] [Here Clement satirizes heathen manners, and quote Athene, to shame Christians who imitate them.]
[1379] Ecclus. xxxi. 25.
[1380] [The blood of the vine is Christ’s blood. According to Clement, then, it remains in the Eucharist unchanged.]
[1381] Mark xvi. 25; Matt. xxvi. 29. [This also is a noteworthy use of the text.]
[1383] Ecclus. xxvi. 8.
[1384] 1 Cor. xi. 20. [Clement has already hinted his opinion, that this referred to a shameful custom of the Corinthians to let an agape precede the Eucharist; an abuse growing out of our Lord’s eating of the Passover before he instituted the Eucharist.]
[1385] τουτοις, an emendation for τούτῳ.
[1386] Odyss., xi. 65.
[1387] Iliad, i. 591.
[1388] Ecclus. xxxi. 20.
[1389] Shem and Japheth.
[1390] see Ecclus. xxxi. 19, where, however, we have a different reading.
Chapter III.—On Costly Vessels.
[1391] Limpet-shaped cups. [On this chapter consult Kaye, p. 74.]
