[1520] Luke xii. 24.

[1521] Luke xii. 24.

[1522] Luke xii. 27.

[1523] Luke xii. 28.

[1524] μετέωρος

[1525] Matt. vi. 32.

[1526] Clement uses here Platonic language, δόξα meaning opinion established on no scientific basis, which may be true or may be false, and ἐπιστήμη knowledge sure and certain, because based on the reasons of things.

[1527] [Martial, Epigrams, passim.]

[1528] [The reproach and opprobrium of foppery.]

[1529] Dan. vii. 9.

[1530] Rev. vi. 9, 11.

[1531] [This refers to the natural tint of unbleached linen, or to wool not whitened by the art of the fuller. Hermas speaks of “pure undressed linen.” Book iii. 4, p. 40, supra.]

[1532] [The colour (probably, for mss. differ) reprehended as the dress of the false shepherd in Hermas. See note 10, book iii. Simil. 6. cap. ii. p. 36, this volume.]

[1533] Ecclus. xi. 4.

[1534] Luke vii. 25.

[1535] Prodicus, of the island Ceus.

[1536] Or by a conjectural emendation of the text, “If in this we must relax somewhat in the case of women.”

[1537] Various kinds of robes. [The peplus, or shawl of fine wool, seems to be specified in condemning the boast below, which asserts real wool and no imitation.]

[1538] Alluding to the practice of covering the fleeces of sheep with skins, when the wool was very fine, to prevent it being soiled by exposure.

[1539] Mark i. 6.

[1540] 2 Kings i. 8.
