Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[1604] έγκαταριθμένην seems to be here used in a middle, not a passive sense, as καταριθμημένος is sometimes.
[1606] [Such were the manners with which the Gospel was forced everywhere to contend. That they were against nature is sufficiently clear from the remains of decency in some heathen. Herodotus (book i. cap. 8) tells us that the Lydians counted it disgraceful even for a man to be seen naked.]
[1610] [When the loss of the beard was a token of foppery and often of something worse, shaving would be frivolity; but here he treats of extirpation.]
[1612] Ecclus. xix. 29, 30.
[1613] Hesiod, Works and Days, i. 232.
[1614] Of which they drink.
[1615] [He took upon him our nature, flesh and blood. Heb. ii. 14-16.]
Chapter IV.—With Whom We are to Associate.
[1618] Ecclus. ix. 7.
[1619] Ecclus. xi. 29.
[1620] Ecclus. ix. 16.
[1622] φοξός, in allusion to Thersites, to which Homer applies this epithet.
[1623] [The wasting on pet dogs, pups, and other animals, expense and pains which might help an orphan child, is a sin not yet uprooted. Here Clement’s plea for widows, orphans, and aged men, prepares the way for Christian institutions in behalf of these classes. The same arguments should prevail with Christians in America.]
