Chapter XV.
Clement,2401
| 2401 Bishop 91 or 2–101. Died 110 (Euseb. Ch. Hist.) It is by no
means certain that Clemens Romanus is the Clemens mentioned in the New
Testament. Compare discussions by Salmon in Smith and Wace, and
M’Giffert in his translation of Eusebius. | of whom the apostle Paul writing to
the Philippians says “With Clement and others of my
fellow-workers whose names are written in the book of life,”2402
the fourth bishop of Rome after Peter, if
indeed the second was Linus and the third Anacletus,2403
| 2403 Anacletus Val. Fabr. Her.;
Anencletus, Anincletus, Anenclitus, H 25 31 e; Cletus (or
Elitus). T 30 31; Anicletus, 10; Anecletus, A;
Aneclitus, a. | although most of the Latins think that
Clement was second after the apostle.2404
He wrote, on the part of the church of Rome, an especially valuable
Letter to the church of the Corinthians, which in some places is
publicly read, and which seems to me to agree in style with the epistle
to the Hebrews which passes under the name of Paul but it differs from
this same epistle, not only in many of its ideas, but also in respect
of the order of words, and its likeness in either respect is not very
great. There is also a second Epistle under his name which is
rejected by earlier writers, and a Disputation between Peter and
Appion written out at length, which Eusebius in the third book of
his Church history rejects. He died in the third year of Trajan and a
church built at Rome preserves the memory of his name unto this
day.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
