Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[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.]
[2089] [A fair parallel to the amazing traditional statement of Irenæus, and his objection to this very idea, vol. i. p. 391, this series. Isa. lxi. 1, 2.]
[2090] [Mosheim, Christ. of First Three Cent., i. 432; and Josephus, Antiquities, ii. 14.]
[2095] [As to our author’s chronology, see Elucidation XV., infra.]
Chapter XXII.—On the Greek Translation of the Old Testament.
[2096] [The work of Ezra, as Clement testifies concerning it, adds immensely to the common ideas of his place in the history of the canon.]
[2097] [Concerning the LXX., see cap. vii. p. 308, note 4, supra.]
Chapter XXIII.—The Age, Birth, and Life of Moses.
[2098] This is the account given by Philo, of whose book on the life of Moses this chapter is an epitome, for the most part in Philo’s words.
