Introductory Notice to The Clementine Homilies.
[1036] [Compare the discussion on Genesis in Homily XIV. 3, etc., but especially the full arguments in Recognitions, viii., ix.—R.]
Chapter XV.—Wickedness of the Gods.
[1037] μυθολογοῦσαν.
[1038] [See Homily V. 11–15, and comp. Recognitions, x. 20.—R.]
Chapter XVI.—Wickedness of Jupiter.
[1039] Wieseler proposes θείους instead of θεούς; and he punishes his uncles also , as in vi. 2, 21.
[1040] This is properly regarded as a mistake for Dione, or Didone, which is another form of the name Dione.
Chapter XVII.—“Their Makers are Like Unto Them.”
[1041] Lit. “of those who are superior or better.”
Chapter XX.—False Theories of Philosophers.
[1042] [Compare the argument against the philosophers, as put in the mouth of the Apostle, in Recognitions, x. 48–50.—R.]
[1043] The Vatican ms. inserts here, “upturning of houses, magic practices, deceptions, perplexities.”
[1044] [See Homily VI. 1–10. Homily V. contains an account of Clement’s previous acquaintance with Appion.—R.]
Chapter I.—Appion Does Not Appear.
[1045] [The historical setting of Homily V. is peculiar to this narrative; most of the views appear in a different connection in the Recognitions (mainly book x.).—R.]
Chapter II.—Clement’s Previous Knowledge of Appion.
[1046] [See Homily IV. 6, footnote.—R.]
[1047] [The introduction of the letters is an ingenious literary device. Much of the mythological matter is given in Recognitions, x.—R.]
Chapter XI.—“All Uncleanness with Greediness.”
[1048] We have adopted the punctuation of Wieseler.
Chapter XII.—Jupiter’s Amours.
[1049] [Comp. Recognitions, x. 20–23, for a parallel to chaps. 12–15.—R.]
[1050] I have no doubt that this is the general meaning; but the text is hopelessly corrupt.
Chapter XVIII.—The Philosophers Advocates of Adultery.
[1051] This from a marginal reading.
Chapter XXI.—Answer to Appion’s Letter.
[1052] I suspect it should rather be impellers, reading φερόντων for ἐρώντων.
Chapter XXIII.—The Gods No Gods.
[1053] [Compare the different use of these details in Recognitions, x. 24; also in Homily VI. 21.—R.]
Chapter II.—The Myths are Not to Be Taken Literally.
[1054] [Compare in general, with chaps. 2–22, the mythological statements in Recognitions, x. 17–41.—R.]
[1055] [Compare Recognitions, x. 17, 31.—R.]
[1056] The passage seems to be corrupt.
