Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[3437] If we retain the reading of the text, we must translate “founding,” and understand the reference to be to the descent of the new Jerusalem. But it seems better to change the reading as above.
[3439] Prov. i. 5, 6. [Elucidation IX.]
[3440] i.e., Solomon.
[3441] [This volume, p. 11, supra.]
[3443] [In the walk to Emmaus, and by the Spirit bringing all things to remembrance. John xiv. 26.]
[3444] Mark x. 48, etc.
Chapter XVI.—Gnostic Exposition of the Decalogue.
[3446] i.e., the Commandments.
[3447] For perfect wisdom, which is knowledge of things divine and human, which comprehends all that relates to the oversight of the flock of men, becomes, in reference to life, art (Instructor, book ii. chap. ii. p. 244, supra).
[3449] The text reads ἐντολαῖς, which, however, Hervetus, Heinsius, and Sylburgius, all concur in changing to the accusative, as above.
[3452] i.e., commandment. The Decalogue is in Hebrew called “the ten words.”
[3453] The text has τρίτος, but Sylburgius reads τέταρτος, the third being either omitted, or embraced in what is said of the second. The next mentioned is the fifth.
[3454] i.e., Christ. [And the first day, or the Christian Sabbath.]
[3455] [Barnabas, vol. i. chap. xv. p. 146, this series.]
[3456] μεσευθύς, μέσος and εὐθύς, between the even ones, applied by the Pythagoreans to 6, a half-way between 2 and 10, the first and the last even numbers of the dinary scale.
