[843] Deut. xiii. 4.

[844] The text has πάλιν; Euseb. reads Πλάτων.

[845] The text has ἀνθρώπῳ; Plato and Eusebius, ἀνθρώπois.

[846] Deut. xxx. 15, 19, 20.

[847] τὴν χρυσῆν is supplied, according to a very probable conjecture.

[848] “Spoken or” supplied from Plato and Eusebius.

[849] μόνον ἐν τῇ πόλει is here supplied from Plato.

[850] Iliad, xiv. 206.

[851] Iliad, xviii.

[852] Μέτρα is the reading of the text, but is plainly an error for μέτρῳ, which is the reading of Eusebius.

[855] Matt. xxiv. 42, etc.

[856] Wisd. ii. 12.

[857] Isa. xl. 18, 25.

[858] H. Stephanus, in his Fragments of Bacchylides, reads αἰκελείων (foul) instead of ἀεικαιλιαν of the text.

[859] Quoted in Exhortation to the Heathen, p. 72, and is here corrected from the text there.

[860] This is quoted in Exhortation to the Heathen, p. 73, ch. viii. The reading varies, and it has been variously amended. Θεῷ is substituted above for σέο. Perhaps the simplest of the emendations proposed on this passage is the change of σέο into σο, with Thee.

[861] Heraclitus.

[862] Deut. vi. 4.

[863] See Exhortation, p. 76, where for “So” read “Lo.”

[864] “Οὖτις, Noman, Nobody; a fallacious name assumed by Ulysses (with a primary allusion to μήτις, μῆτις, Odys. xx. 20), to deceive Polyphemus.”—Liddel and Scott. The third line is 274 of same book.

[865] Odys. ix. 410.

[866] Iliad, xxii. 8.

[872] Jer. xxiii. 23, 24.

[873] Ps. iv. 6.

[875] Isa. lxv. 24.

[876] These lines are quoted by Justin (De Monarchia), p. 333, but ascribed by him part to Philemon, part to Euripides.

[887] Jer. x. 12.

[888] Isa. xl. 13.

[889] Iliad, viii. 69.

[890] These lines of Æschylus are also quoted by Justin Martyr, De Monarchia, p. 330. (Dread force, ἄπλατος ὁρμή; Eusebius reads ὁρμῇ, dative. J. Langus has suggested (ἄπλαστος) uncreated; ἄπληστος (insatiate) has also been suggested.) The epithet of the text, which means primarily unapproachable, then dread or terrible, is applied by Pindar to fire.

[891] Ps. lxviii. 8.

[892] This Pythian oracle is given by Herodotus, and is quoted also by Eusebius and Theodoret.

[893] γνωμικώτατα, Eusebius reads γενικώτατον, agreeing with πατέρα.

[894] A game in which a potsherd with a black and white side was cast on a line; and as the black or white turned up, one of the players fled and the other pursued.

[895] Eusebius has κρίνει, which we have adopted, for κρίνειν of the text.

[896] Plato, Rep. book vii.

[897] According to the reading in Eusebius, πᾶν ἔθνος ἑῷον, πᾶν δὲ ἑσπερίων ᾐόνων, βόρειόν τε καὶ τό, κ.τ.λ.

[898] Instead of πρόνοιαν, Eusebius has προνομίαν (privilege).

[899] Clement seems to mean that they knew God only in a roundabout and inaccurate way. The text has περίφασιν; but περίφρασιν, which is in Eusebius, is preferable.

[900] Isa. xxxvi. 7, 8, 10.

[901] Jonah i. 6, 9, 14.

[902] Mal. i. 10, 11, 14.

[903] Perhaps Bacchylides.

[904] ἀρχαίαν.

[905] The reading of H. Stephanus, ἀγαθὰς Ὥρας, is adopted in the translation. The text has ἀγαθὰ σωτῆρας. Some supply Ὥρας, and at the same time retain σωτῆρας.

[906] Jer. iii. 19.

[907] John vi. 27.

[908] Isa. xxxii. 20.

[909] Rom. xiv. 2.

[910] Ps. cxii. 5, 9.

[911] Odyssey, xi. 420.

[912] Homer, Iliad, xxiii. 315: μέγ’ ἀμείνων is found in the Iliad as in Musæus. In the text occurs instead περιγίνεται, which is taken from line 318.

[913] φύλλον, for which Sylburg. suggests φῦλον.

[914] Iliad, vi. 141–149.

[915] Odyss. xxii. 412.

[916] Iliad, ix. 116.

[917] Ξυνός. So Livy, “communis Mars;” and Cicero, “cum omnis belli Mars communis.”

[918] Iliad, xviii. 309.

[919] The text has: Νίκης ἀνθρώποισι θεῶν ἐκ πείρατα κεῖται. In Iliad, vii. 101, 102, we read:

[920] Iliad, xvi. 235.

[921] Odyss. xiv. 228.

[922] The text is corrupt and unintelligible. It has been restored as above.

[923] In some lost tragedy.

[924] Said by Ajax of the sword received from Hector, with which he killed himself.

[925] The imitator of Thucydides, said to be weaker but clearer than his model. He is not specially clear here.

[926] The text has, ἀσφαλέστερα παρὰ δόξαν καὶ κακοπραγίαν; for which Lowth reads, ἐπισφαλέστερα πρὸς κακοπραγίαν, as translated above.

[927] Iliad, xxiv. Clement’s quotation differs somewhat from the passage as it stands in Homer.

[928] The text has δοίη, which Stobæus has changed into δ’ ἵση, as above. Stobæus gives this quotation as follows:

[929] As no play bearing this name is mentioned by any one else, various conjectures have been made as to the true reading; among which are Clymene Temenos or Temenides.

[930] Odyssey, xiv. 187.

[931] In Theognis the quotation stands thus:

[932] From Jupiter’s address (referring to Pandora) to Prometheus, after stealing fire from heaven. The passage in Hesiod runs thus:

[933] Translated as arranged by Grotius.

[934] Odyss.

[935] συμμανῆναι is doubtless here the true reading, for which the text has συμβῆναι.

[936] The text has κατ’ ἄλλα. And although Sylburgius very properly remarks, that the conjecture κατάλληλα instead is uncertain, it is so suitable to the sense here, that we have no hesitation in adopting it.

[937] The above is translated as amended by Grotius.

[938] παύροισι, “few,” instead of παρ’ οἷσι, and πράσσοντας instead of πράσσοντα, and δύαις, “calamities,” instead of δύᾳ, are adopted from Lyric Fragments.

[939] ψυδνός—ψυδρος—which, however, occurs nowhere but here—is adopted as preferable to ψεδνός (bald), which yields no sense, or ψυχρος. Sylburgius MS. Paris; Ruhnk reads ψυδρός.

[940] A mistake for Herodotus.

[941] Instead, of Μαραθωνίται, as in the text, we read from Thucydides Μαραθῶνί τε.

[942] Πυτίνῃ (not, as in the text, Ποιτίνῃ), a flask covered with plaited osiers. The name of a comedy by Cratinus (Liddel and Scott’s Lexicon).

[943] Iliad, xii., Sarpedon to Glaucus.

[944] Grotius’ correction has been adopted, ἐγγύας δὲ ζαμία, instead of ἐγγύα δὲ ζαμίας.

[945] In the text before In Hexameters we have τηρήσει, which has occasioned much trouble to the critics. Although not entirely satisfactory, yet the most probable is the correction θέλουσι as above.

[946] Iliad, xvii. 53.

[947] i.e. Polyphemus, Odyss. ix. 372.

[948] According to the correction of Casaubon, who, instead of ἀραρότως of the text, reads Ἀραρώς. Others ascribed the comedy to Aristophanes himself.

[949] i.e. washed.

[950] Eusebius reads, “invoking the common Father, God,” viz. Πανελλήνιος Ζεύς, as Pausanias relates.

[951] 1 Sam. xi. 18.

[952] Matt. v. 45.

[953] Instead of νοῦσον σιδηρόν, the sense requires that we should, with Sylburgius, read νούσοισι δηρόν.

[954] Ps. lxxxiv. 1.

[955] Deut. x. 16, 17.

[956] Isa. xl. 26.

[957] 1 Tim. vi. 16.

[958] Deut. iv. 12.

[959] Ὡροσκόπος.

[960] We have the same statement made, Stromata i. 19, Ante-Nicene Lib. p. 413, Potter 372; also v. 14, Ante-Nicene Lib. p. 298, Potter 730,—in all of which Lowth adopts περίφρασιν as the true reading, instead of περίφασιν. In the first of these passages, Clement instances as one of the circumlocutions or roundabout expressions by which God was known to the Greek poets and philosophers, “The Unknown God.” Joannes Clericus proposes to read παράφασιν (palpitatio), touching, feeling after.

[961] i.e. “The word of God’s power is His Son.”

[962] Instead of ἡν...ἐξουσίας, as in the text, we read ὧν ἐξουσιαν.

[963] None of the attempts to amend this passage are entirely successful. The translation adopts the best suggestions made.

[964] i.e. of atonement.

[965] Jer. xxxi. 31, 32; Heb. viii. 8–10.

[966] Most likely taken from some apocryphal book bearing the name of Paul.

[967] Matt. xxiii. 4; Luke xi. 47.

[968] Matt. ix. 22, etc.

[969] The passage which seems to be alluded to here is Job xxviii. 22, “Destruction and Death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.”

[970] εὐηγγελίσθαι used actively for εὐαγγελίσαι, as also immediately after εὐηγγελισμένοι for εὐαγγελισάμενοι.

[971] 1 Pet. iii. 19, 20.

[972] Potter, p. 452; Ante-Nicene Library, vol. ii. Clement, p. 28.

[973] Ezek. xviii. 23, 32, xxxiii. 11, etc.

[974] Hermas, book iii. chap. xvi. Ante-Nicene Library, 420. Quoted also in Stromata ii. Ante-Nicene Library, p. 218, from which the text here is corrected; Potter, 452.

[975] Matt. xxvii. 52.

[976] τάξιν.

[977] Rom. ix. 3.

[978] Apparently God’s voice to them. Sylburgius proposes to read φύσεως instead of φωνῆς here.

[979] 1 Pet. iii. 19.

[980] 1 Cor. i. 29.

[981] Alluding apparently to such passages as Acts iii. 17, 19, and xvii. 30.

[982] Deut. xxx. 15, 19.

[983] Isa. i. 19, 20.

[984] Ps. xvi. 9–11; Acts ii. 26–28.

[990] Ps. ix. 11.

[991] Ps. xi. 7.

[992] Ps. xi. 6, Septuagint version.

[993] Sylburgius’ conjecture, εὐεργετικόν, seems greatly preferable to the reading of the text, ἐνεργητικόν.

[994] Grabe reads λόγος for λαός, “Word of the Beloved,” etc.
