Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[1988] [The devil can quote Scripture. Hermas, p. 27, this volume. See, on this important chapter, Elucidation XIII., infra.]
[1989] Clement reads πρόγνωσιν for πρόθεσιν.
Chapter XVIII.—He Illustrates the Apostle’s Saying, “I Will Destroy the Wisdom of the Wise.”
[1996] Or, “inquirers.”
[1998] 1 Cor. i. 21-24; where the reading is Θεόν not Αὐτόν.
[1999] [He thus expounds the Ecclesia.]
[2003] Eph. iv. 24-25, 27:27–29.
Chapter XIX.—That the Philosophers Have Attained to Some Portion of Truth.
[2006] Viz., “The Unknown God.” [Hereafter to be noted.]
[2007] [Not in the original with Socrates, but a common adage:—
Multi thyrsigeri, pauci Bacchi.
The original Greek hexameter is given by Erasmus, in his Adagia (p. 650), with numerous equivalents, among which take this: Non omnes episcopi qui mitram gerunt bicornem. He reminds us that Plato borrows it in the Phœdo, and he quotes the parallel sayin of Herodes Atticus, “I see a beard and a cloak, but as yet do not discover the philosopher.”]
