Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[2174] Adopting Lowth’s conjecture of supplying πλήν before θεοσεβείας.
[2175] John xx. 29. [Note this definition of true knowledge, followed by an appeal to the Scriptures as infallible teaching. No need to say that no other infallibility is ever hinted, or dreamed of, by Clement.]
Chapter III.—Faith Not a Product of Nature.
[2176] The text reads ἤ: but Sylb. suggests ᾑ, which we have adopted.
[2177] καὶ τὸ ἑκούσιον is supplied as required by the sense. The text has ἀκούσιον only, for which Lowth proposes to read ἑκούσιον.
[2178] Either baptism or the imposition of hands after baptism. [For an almost pontifical decision as to this whole matter, with a very just eulogy of the German (Lutheran) confirmation-office, see Bunsen, Hippol., iii. pp. 214, 369.]
Chapter IV.—Faith the Foundation of All Knowledge.
[2181] Instead of μονονουχί, Petavius and Lowth read μόνον οὐχί, as above.
[2183] Isa. lxiv. 4; 1 Cor. ii. 9.
[2184] κατάληψιν ποιεῖ τῆν πρόληψιν.
[2185] οὐ ζῶον is here interpolated into the text, not being found in Plato.
[2186] Χριστός and χρηστός are very frequently compared in the patristic authors.
[2188] Plato’s sister’s son and successor.
[2189] σπουδαῖος.
Chapter V.—He Proves by Several Examples that the Greeks Drew from the Sacred Writers.
[2190] The words of Jacob to Esau slightly changed from the Septuagint: “For God hath shown mercy to me, and I have all things”—οτι ἠλέησέ με ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ἔστι μοι πάντα (Gen. xxxiii. 11).
[2193] So the name Israel is explained, Stromata, i. p. 334, Potter; [see p. 300, supra.]
