Notes

Translation notes

  • The letter names no author. From Dionysius of Corinth (ca. 170) on, tradition attributes it to Clement, a leader of the Roman church.
  • “Sojourns” (παροικοῦσα): see the note on Pol. Phil. 0.

Notes on the original text

  • Digital text corrected (digitization slip against Lake's printed text (missing iota subscript)): τῆ ἐκκλησίᾳ → τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ.
