Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[3524] [The salvability of the heathen through Christ, is everywhere conspicuous in our author’s system; but there is a solemn dignity in the concluding paragraphs of this chapter, which deserves reflection. It would not be becoming for me to express my own views upon the subject here, but it is one assuming fresh importance in our day.]
[3525] Instead of ἑλόμενος, Sylburgius proposes ἁλάμενος, making a leap by faith to perfection.
[3526] The reading varies here. For οἰκήσεις of the text, Heinsius and the Latin translator adopt οἰκείαν, which, on the whole, seems preferable to οἴ´κησιν or ἡκούσης.
Chapter III.—The Gnostic Aims at the Nearest Likeness Possible to God and His Son.
[3530] Rom. vi. 6, 7;2 Cor. x. 5; Eph. iv. 22-24; Col. iii. 8, 9, etc.
[3532] κρατεῖν is hear supplied to complete the sense.
[3533] ἀντιτάσσεσθαι is suggested instead of ἀντιτάσσεται of the text.
[3534] ἄμα is here, on the authority of a ms., and with the approval of Sylburguis, to be substituted for ἅλμα.
[3535] κόσμιος, καὶ ὑπερκόσμιος. The author plays on the double meaning of κόσμος, world or order.
[3537] τὸ θέατρον used for the place, the spectacle, and the spectators.
[3538] Ἀδράστεια, a name given to Nemesis, said to be from an altar erected to her by Adrastus; but as used here, and when employed as an adjective qualifying Nemesis, it has reference to διδράσκω.
Chapter IV.—The Heathens Made Gods Like Themselves, Whence Springs All Superstition.
[3539] Iliad, ix. 533, etc.
[3540] The text has Ἡ αὐτή, which is plainly unsuitable; hence the suggestion ἡ Αητώ.
[3541] These lines are quoted by Theodoret, and have been amended and arranged by Sylburgius and Grotius. The text has Ἀγαθόν τι; Theodoret and Grotius omit τί as above.
[3542] Which were used in lustrations, ὧτα. The text has ᾥά.
[3543] Translated as arranged and amended by Grotius.
[3544] Euripides, Orestes, 395, 396.
Chapter V.—The Holy Soul a More Excellent Temple Than Any Edifice Built by Man.
