The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
[24] 1 Kings xviii. 8, etc.
[25] Literally, “those who have been athletes.”
[26] Some fill up the lacuna here found in the ms. so as to read, “have come to a grievous death.”
[27] Literally, “good.” [The martyrdom of St. Peter is all that is thus connected with his arrival in Rome. His numerous labours were restricted to the Circumcision.]
[28] Seven imprisonments of St. Paul are not referred to in Scripture.
[29] Archbishop Wake here reads “scourged.” We have followed the most recent critics in filling up the numerous lacunæ in this chapter.
[30] Some think Rome, others Spain, and others even Britain, to be here referred to. [See note at end.]
[31] That is, under Tigellinus and Sabinus, in the last year of the Emperor Nero; but some think Helius and Polycletus are referred to; and others, both here and in the preceding sentence, regard the words as denoting simply the witness borne by Peter and Paul to the truth of the gospel before the rulers of the earth.
Chapter VI.—Continuation. Several other martyrs.
[32] Some suppose these to have been the names of two eminent female martyrs under Nero; others regard the clause as an interpolation. [Many ingenious conjectures might be cited; but see Jacobson’s valuable note, Patres Apostol., vol. i. p. 30.]
[33] Literally, “have reached to the stedfast course of faith.”
Chapter VII.—An exhortation to repentance.
[35] Some insert “Father.”
[36] Gen. vii.; 1 Pet. iii. 20;2 Pet. ii. 5.
Chapter VIII.—Continuation respecting repentance.
[40] Comp. Isa. i. 18.
[41] These words are not found in Scripture, though they are quoted again by Clem. Alex. (Pædag., i. 10) as from Ezekiel.
Chapter IX.—Examples of the saints.
[43] Some read ματαιολογίαν, “vain talk.”
