Introductory Notice to The Clementine Homilies.
[917] [With but two exceptions, these names, or their equivalents, occur in Recognitions, iii. 68, where importance is attached to the number twelve. Comp. also Recognitions, ii. 1. A comparison of these lists favors the theory of a common documentary basis.—R.]
Chapter II.—A Sound Mind in a Sound Body.
[918] Literally, “to be boiled out of me.”
Chapter III.—Forewarned is Forearmed.
[920] “Were deceived” is not in the text, but the sense demands some such expression should be supplied.
[921] φιλόλογοι, οὐ φιλόσοφοι, “lovers of words, not lovers of wisdom.”
Chapter XIII.—Future Rewards and Punishments.
[922] Lit. Hades.
[923] Literally, “twofoldly and oppositely.” [On the doctrine of pairs compare chap. 33, iii. 23, Recognitions, iii. 61.—R.]
Chapter XVI.—Man’s Ways Opposite to God’s.
[924] Noah.
[925] For “first” Wieseler conjectures “different,”—two different persons.
Chapter XVII.—First the Worse, Then the Better.
[926] In this sentence the text is probably corrupted. The general meaning seems to be, that he does not enter fully at present into the subject of Elias, or John the Baptist, and the Christ, the greatest among the sons of men, coming after, but that he will return to the subject on a fitting occasion.
Chapter XIX.—Justa, a Proselyte.
[927] [Chaps. 19–21 are peculiar to the Homilies, though in Recognitions, vii. 32, Justa is named as having purchased and educated Niceta and Aquila.—R.]
[928] For διαφόροις Duncker proposes ἀδιαφόροις, “meats without distinction.”
[929] That is, having caused to be a Gentile, by abstaining from forbidden foods.
[930] There are several various readings in this sentence, and none of them can be strictly construed; but the general sense is obvious.
Chapter XXII.—Doctrines of Simon.
[931] [For the parallel account of Simon, given also by Aquila, see Recognitions, ii. 7–15.—R.]
[932] The Vatican ms. adds, “which is in Egypt (or, on the Nile), in Greek culture.”
[933] [Comp. Recognitions, i. 72—R.]
Chapter XXIII.—Simon a Disciple of the Baptist.
[934] A day-baptist is taken to mean “one who baptizes every day.”
[935] [Called “Luna” in the Recognitions.—R.]
[936] [Peculiar, in this detailed form, to the Homilies.—R.]
Chapter XXIV.—Electioneering Stratagems.
[937] [Compare the varied account in Recognitions, ii. 8.—R.]
