Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[1711] Sylburg suggests παριούας (passing by) instead of παριζούσας.
[1712] κὔβος, a die marked on all the six sides. [This prohibition would include cards in modern ethics.]
[1713] διὰ ͠ῶν ἀστραγάλων. The ἀστραγάλοι were dice marked on four sides only. Clemens seems to use the terms here indifferently.
[1714] Lowth’s conjecture of ἔρως instead of ἐρᾷ has been adopted.
[1715] Lev. xi. 13, 14;Deut. xiv. 12.
[1718] ἀναμιξιας adopted instead of the reading ἀμιξίας, which is plainly wrong.
[1719] λιχνευούσης on the authority of the Pal. ms. Nov. Reg. Bod.
[1720] [Jeremy Collier’s Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage (London, 1698) and the discussions that followed belong to literature, and ought to be republished with historic notes.]
[1722] In allusion to the cleansing of the temple (John ii. 13-17; Matt. xxi. 12, 13; Luke xix. 45, 46).
[1723] [This early use of the word “church” for the place or house of worship, is to be noted. See Elucidation ii.]
[1724] 1 Cor. xi. 5. [This helps to the due rendering of ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς in 1 Cor. xi. 10.]
[1725] [1 Cor. xi. 22. But I cannot say that the word ἐκκλησία is used for the place of Christian worship, even in this text, where it seems to be in antithesis with the dwelling-house.]
[1728] [The sexes sat apart in the primitive churches, and the kiss of peace was given by women only to women (Bunsen, Hippol., iii. p. 15). Does the author, here, imply that unholy kissing had crept in? Among the Germans, even in our days, nothing is more common than to see men, not at all related, salute one another in this way. It was therefore all one with shaking hands, in the apostolic ordinance. For some very fine reflections on the baiser de paix, see De Masitre, Soirèes, ii. p. 199, ed. Paris, 1850.]
