Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[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.
[3458] i.e., with the three disciples.
[3459] The numeral ϛ´ = 6. This is said to be the Digamma in its original place in the alphabet, and afterwards used in mss. and old editions as a short form of στ (Liddell and Scott’s Lexicon).
[3460] That is, Christ, who answers to the numeral six.
[3464] [By Rabbinical tradition. But see Calmet, Dict. Bib., p. 78.]
[3465] [The honour put upon this number in the Holy Scriptures is obvious to all, and it seems to be wrought into nature by the author of Scripture. But see Dan. viii. 13, the original, and (Palmoni) Eng. margin.]
