Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[1676] [Possibly used thus early as a distinction of matrons.]
[1677] Εὑτυχούσαις, for which the text has ἐντοχούσαις.
[1678] Ecclus. xxi. 21.
[1679] [How this was followed, is proved by the early Christian devices of the catacombs, contrasted with the engraved gems from Pompeii, in the Museo Borbonico at Naples.]
[1680] Masculine.
[1681] γεγλυμμἐνους, written on the margin of Codex clxv. for γεγυμνωμένους (naked) of the text. [Royal Library, Naples.]
[1683] [Here Clement’s rules are arbitrary, and based on their existing ideas of propriety. If it be not improper to shave the head, much less to shave the face, which he allows in part.]
[1684] “Not” does not occur in the mss.
[1685] For δεδοικότες, the conjectural emendation δεδυκότες, has been adopted.
[1686] φυλάσσειν, Sylburg and Bod. Reg., agree better than μαλάσσειν with the context.
[1687] [The chrism (confirmation) was thus administered then, not with material oil, and was called anointing, with reference to 1 John ii. 27. Consult Bunsen, however, who attributes great antiquity to his canons (collected in vol. iii. Hippolytus), p. 22, Church and House Book.]
[1688] 1 Cor. xi. 3. Nov. reads “Christ,” as in St. Paul, instead of “God.”
[1691] In reference to Prov. xxxi. 22.
[1692] Prov. xxxi. 26-28, 30, quoted from memory, and with variety of reading.
[1694] Prov. v. 3-5, Septuagint.
[1695] We have read from the New College ms. σωφροσύνη for σωφροσύνης.
