ANF Pseudo-Clementine The Clementine Homilies

Footnotes

^[1426] The text is corrupt here. Literally it is, “I do not admit that God had been begotten.”

^[1427] “Evil” is not in the mss. It is inserted from the next sentence.

^[1428] “Every” is inserted by a conjecture of Schwegler’s.

^[1429] Lit., “naturally had their desire towards neither.”

^[1430] The mss. have “by law.” We have changed νόμῳ into μόνον.

^[1431] The devil is plainly meant by the “he.”

^[1432] This passage is evidently corrupt. But it is not easy to amend it.

^[1433] Probably “eternity” should be read, instead of “eternal creation.”

^[1434] At this word thems. of Cotelerius breaks off; and we have the rest only in the Ottobonian ms., first edited by Dressel.

^[1437] Possibly the right reading is ἐμψύχους, “it produces living beings.”

^[1438] Or, “on whose account.”

^[1439] [Comp. xi. 8; Recognitions, iii. 21, 26, etc.—R.]

^[1440] The text is corrupt.

^[1441] The ms. reads: “In this respect he who made him is wicked, who gave existence to what was non-existent.”

^[1442] The Greek is either ungrammatical or corrupt, but the sense is evident.

^[1443] This passage is supposed by most to be defective, and various words have been suggested to supply the lacuna.

^[1444] Or, “monarch.” But only two letters of the word are in the ms.; the rest is filled in by conjecture.

^[1445] Supplied by conjecture.

^[1446] Three words are struck out of the text of the ms. by all editors, as being a repetition.
