Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria

[3168] This Pythian oracle is given by Herodotus, and is quoted also by Eusebius and Theodoret.

[3169] γνωμικώτατα. Eusebius reads γενιικώτατον, agreeing with πατἐρα.

[3170] A game in which a potsherd with a black and white side was cast on a line; and as the black or white turned up, one of the players fled and the other pursued.

[3171] Eusebius has κρίνει, which we have adopted, for κρίνειν of the text.

[3172] Plato, Rep., book vii.

[3173] [Pearson, On the Creed, p. 47.]

[3174] According to the reading in Eusebius, πᾶν ἔθνος ἑῷον πᾶν δὲ ἑσπερίων ᾐόνων, βόρειόν τε καὶ τό, κ.τ.λ.

[3175] Instead of πρόνοιαν, Eusebius has προνομίαν (privilege).

[3176] Clement seems to mean that they knew God only in a roundabout and inaccurate way. The text has περίφασιν; but περίφρασιν, which is in Eusebius, is preferable.

[3177] [See p. 379, Elucidation I., supra.]

[3178] Isa xxxvi. 7-8, 10.

[3179] Jonah i. 6, 9, 14.

[3180] Mal. i. 10-11, 14. [The prophetic present-future.]

[3181] Perhaps Bacchylides.

[3182] ἀρχαίαν.

[3183] The reading of H. Stephanus, ἀγαθὰς Ὥρας, is adopted in the translation. The text has ἀγαθὰ σωτῆρας. Some supply Ὦρας, and at the same time retain σωτῆρας.

[3184] Jer. iii. 19.

[3185] [This strong testimony of Clement is worthy of special note.]

II.

[3186] De Nat. Deor., ed. Delphin., vol. xiv. p. 852.

III.

[3187] Boston, 1850.

V.

[3188] In the Provincial Letters, passim.

VII.
