Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[1557] [Chrysostom enlarges on this Christian thought most eloquently, in several of his homilies: e.g., on the First Epistle to the Corinthians. Hom. xxi. tom. x. p. 178. Opp., ed. Migne.]
[1558] Iliad, ii. 872.
[1559] [The necklace called κάθεμα or κάθημα seems to be referred to. Ezek. xvi. 11, and Isa. iii. 19, Sept.]
[1560] Ἐλλόβιον by conjecture, as more suitable to the connection than Ἐλλέβορον or Ἐλέβορον. Hellebore of the ms., though Hellebore may be intended as a comic ending.
[1561] [The Greek satirist seems to have borrowed Isaiah’s catalogue. cap. iii. 18–23.]
[1564] Logos is identified with reason; and it is by reason, or the ingenuity of man, that gold is discovered and brought to light. [But here he seems to have in view the comparisons between gold and wisdom, in Job xxviii.]
[1565] εἴ´δωλον, an appearance, an image.
[1568] By mistake for Paul. Clement quotes here, as often, from memory (1 Tim. ii. 9, 10).
Chapter I.—On the True Beauty.
[1574] [On this book, Kaye’s comments extend from p. 91 to p. 111 of his analysis.]
[1575] [Note this psychological dissection. Compare Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, book vi. cap. 2, ἄισθησις, νοῦς, ὂρεξις, sense, intellect, appetition. Also, book i. cap. 11, or 13 in some editions.]
[1576] Odyss., iv. 456–458.
