Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[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.]
Chapter V.—Behaviour in the Baths.
[1627] Hesiod, Works and Days, ii. 371.
[1628] [Such were women before the Gospel came. See note to Hermas, cap. xi. note 1, p. 47, this volume, and Elucidation (p. 57) of the same.]
[1629] [The barbarians were more decent than the Greeks, being nearer to the state of nature, which is a better guide than pagan civilization. But see the interesting note of Rawlinson (Herod., vol. i. p. 125, ed. New York), who quotes Thucydides (i. 6) to prove the recent invasion of immodest exposure even among athletes. Our author has this same quotation in mind, for he almost translates it here.]
