nal of the six books of the
Apostolic Constitutions, written in Syria and belonging to the second
half of the third century, knows yet of no New Testament. In addition to
the Old Testament it has no authority but the "Gospel."]

[Footnote 112: There has as yet been no sufficient investigation of the
New Testament of Clement. The information given by Volkmar in Credner's
Gesch. d. N. Tlichen Kanon, p. 382 ff., is not sufficient. The space at
the disposal of this manual prevents me from establishing the results of
my studies on this point. Let me at least refer to some important
passages which I have collected. Strom. I. Sec.Sec. 28, 100; II. Sec.Sec. 22, 28,
29; III.,Sec.Sec. 11, 66, 70, 71, 76, 93, 108; IV. Sec.Sec. 2, 91, 97, 105, 130,
133, 134, 138, 159; V. Sec.Sec. 3, 17, 27, 28, 30, 31, 38, 80, 85, 86; VI. Sec.Sec.
42,44, 54, 59, 61, 66--68, 88, 91, 106, 107, 119, 124, 125, 127, 128,
133, 161, 164; VII. Sec.Sec. 1, 14, 34, 76, 82, 84, 88, 94, 95, 97, 100, 101,
103, 104, 106, 107. As to the estimate of the Epistles of Barnabas and
Clement of Rome as well as of the Shepherd, in Clement, see the Prolegg.
to my edition of the Opp. Patr. Apost.]

[Footnote 113: According to Strom. V. 14. 138 even the Epicurean
Metrodorus uttered certain words [Greek: entheos]; but on the other hand
Homer was a prophet against his will. See Paed. I. 6. 36, also Sec. 51.]

[Footnote 114: In the Paed. the Gospels are regularly called [Greek: he
graphe] but this is seldom the case with the Epistles. The word
"Apostle" is used in quoting these.]

[Footnote 115: It is also very interesting to note that Clement almost
nowhere illustrates the parabolic character of the Holy Scriptures by
quoting the Epistles, but in this connection employs the Old Testament
and the Gospels, just as he almost never allegorises passages from other
writings. 1 Cor. III. 2 is once quoted thus in Paed. I. 6. 49: [Greek: to
en to apostolo hagion pneuma te tou kuriou apochromenon phone legei]. We
can hardly conclude from Paed. I. 7. 61 that Clement called Paul a
"prophet."]

[Footnote 116: It is worthy of special note that Clem., Paed. II. 10.3;
Strom. II. 15. 67 has criticised an interpretation given by the author
of the Epistle of Barnabas, although he calls Barnabas an Apostle.]

[Footnote 117: In this category we may also include the Acts of the
Apostles, which is perhaps used like the [Greek: kerugma]. It is quoted
in Paed. II. 16. 56; Strom. I. 50, 89, 91, 9
