Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[2067] Habakkuk.
[2068] Juba.
[2069] Malachi, my angel or messenger. [Again, p. 331, infra.]
[2070] On account of killing the serpent, as is related in the apocryphal book, “Bel and the Dragon, or Serpent.”
[2071] Dan. ix. 24-27. [Speaker’s Commentary, Excursus, ad locum.]
[2072] The text has David.
[2073] Hiram or Huram was his name (1 Kings vii. 13, 40). Clement seems to have mistaken the words ὑπὲρ ὦν occuring in the epistle referred to for a proper name.
[2074] Such, according to Harpocration, was the title of this work. In the text it is called Τριγράμμοι. Suidas calls it Τριασμοί.
[2075] The passage seems incomplete. The bearing of the date of the building of Thasos on the determination of the age of Archilochus, may be, that it was built by Telesiclus his son.
[2076] Called so because he sojourned at Athens. His birthplace was Acarnania.
[2077] Another reading is Τιμόθεος; Sylburgius conjectures Τιμόξενος.
[2078] The text has Φυτώ, which Sylburgius conjectures has been changed from Πυθώ.
[2079] Plato’s Theages, xi. p. 128.
[2080] [Not to be lightly passed over. This whole paragraph is of value. Noah is the eighth preacher (2 Pet. ii. 5) of righteousness.]
[2081] [The baptism of Jesus as distinguished from the baptism of repetance. John is clearly recognised, here, as of the old dispensation. John iv. 1.]
[2082] [It is extraordinary that he fails to mention the blessed virgin and her Magnificat, the earliest Christian hymn; i.e., the first after the incarnation.]
[2083] i.e., of Io, the daughter of Inachus.
[2084] For Βαβυλῶνος, Βασιλἐων has been substituted. In an old chronologist, as quoted by Clement elsewhere, the latter occurs; and the date of the expulsion of the kings harmonizes with the number of years here given, which that of the destruction of Babylon does not.
[2085] Gen. xlvi. 27, Sept.
[2086] [This assent to Plato’s whim, on the part of our author, is suggestive.]
[2087] [This assent to Plato’s whim, on the part of our author, is suggestive.]
