Africanus had, moreover, relations with Edessa.
He mentions Clement in his chronicles. On the connection of Alexander
and the Cappadocian circle with Pantaenus, Clement, and Origen, see the
6th Book of Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History. Alexander and Origen were
disciples of Pantaenus.]

[Footnote 663: See my article "Heraklas" in the Real-Encyklopadie.]

[Footnote 664: We have the most complete materials in Zahn,
"Forschungen" Vol. III. pp. 17-176. The best estimate of the great
tripartite work (Protrepticus, Paedagogus, Stromateis) is found in
Overbeck, l.c. The titles of Clement's remaining works, which are lost
to us or only preserved in fragments, show how comprehensive his
scientific labours were.]

[Footnote 665: This applies quite as much to the old principles of
Christian morality as to the traditional faith. With respect to the
first we may refer to the treatise: "Quis dives salvetur", and to the
2nd and 3rd Books of the Paedagogus.]

[Footnote 666: Clement was also conscious of the novelty of his
undertaking; see Overbeck, l.c., p. 464 f. The respect enjoyed by
Clement as a master is shown by the letters of Alexander of Jerusalem.
See Euseb., H. E. VI. 11 and specially VI. 14. Here both Pantaenus and
Clement are called "Father", but whilst the former receives the title,
[Greek: ho makarios hos alethos kai kurios ], the latter is called:
[Greek: ho hieros Klemes, kurios mou genomenos kai ophelesas me].]

[Footnote 667: Strom. VI. 14, 109: [Greek: pleon estin tou pisteusai to
gnonai], Pistis is [Greek: gnosis suntomos ton katepeigonton] (VII. 10.
57, see the whole chapter), Gnosis is [Greek: apodeixis ton dia pisteos
pareilemmenon te pistei epoikodomoumene] (l.c.), [Greek: teleiosis
anthropou] (l.c.), [Greek: pistis epistemonike] (II. II. 48).]

[Footnote 668: We have here more particularly to consider those
paragraphs of the Stromateis where Clement describes the perfect
Gnostic: the latter elevates himself by dispassionate love to God, is
raised above everything earthly, has rid himself of ignorance, the root
of all evil, and already lives a life like that of the angels. See
Strom. VI. 9. 71, 72: [Greek: Oude gar endei ti auto pros exomoiosin to

all' agapa ton ktisten dia ton ktismaton. Out' oun epithumia kai orexei
