For since there are three things concerning man—character, actions, and passions—the hortatory discourse has taken charge of his character, being the guide to piety; the discourse placed like a keel for the building up of faith, at which we greatly rejoice and, renouncing our old opinions, grow young for salvation, singing in harmony with the prophetic utterance that God is good to Israel, to those upright in heart; and the prescriptive discourse oversees all actions; while the consolatory discourse heals the passions, all being one and the same discourse, which snatches man from his ingrained and worldly habit and tutors him into the singular path of salvation through faith in God. So when the heavenly guide, the Word, used to call to salvation, it was specially called the hortatory discourse—this stimulating discourse, named from a part for the whole; for the whole of piety is hortatory, engendering in the kindred reason a desire for the present and the future life. But now, being both therapeutic and prescriptive at once, following itself, it exhorts the one who has been exhorted, promising the healing of the sum of the passions within us. Let this be fittingly called by us with one name: the Tutor, who is practical, not methodical; for his end is to improve the soul, not to teach, and to guide a temperate, not a scientific, life.

He says that it defiles him, staining the soul; therefore he prescribes the remedy as quickly as possible, advising to shave the head immediately, urging to wipe away the hairs of ignorance that overshadow reason, so that reason, left bare of thick matter—that is, vice—is enthroned in the brain, to run back to repentance. Then, after saying a few things, he adds: \"But the previous days are irrational,\" by which it is clear that sins are indicated that have not occurred according to reason. And he called the involuntary \"sudden,\" and sinning \"irrational.\" For this reason the Word, the tutor, has received the oversight for the prevention of irrational sin. Observe from this, from the Scripture: \"For this reason the Lord says this.\" The sin that existed before is shown in a refutatory manner by the following statement, in that the just judgment follows, and this is clearly manifested through the prophets, as when they say, \"If you had not sinned, he would not have threatened this,\" and for this reason \"Thus says the Lord,\" and \"Because you did not listen to these words, for this reason the Lord says this,\" and \"For this reason, behold, the Lord says.\" For prophecy exists for this reason: for obedience and disobedience—for the former that we may be saved, for the latter that we may be disciplined.

Therefore the man whom God made is choiceworthy for his own sake, and what is choiceworthy for its own sake is proper to that for which it is choiceworthy for its own sake, and to that it is also welcome and beloved. But is something beloved to someone, yet not loved by him? Man has been shown to be beloved, therefore man is loved by God. For how is he not loved, for whose sake the only-begotten is sent down from the Father's bosom, the Word of faith? Faith itself clearly is the Lord himself, confessing and saying, \"For the Father loves you, because you have loved me,\" and again the same, \"And you loved them, as you loved me.\" What then the Pedagogue wishes and what he promises, being disposed in deed and word, and prescribing what is to be done, and forbidding the opposite, is already clear.

For as we wander in deep darkness through life, we need a guide who is unerring and precise. The best guide is not the blind one, as scripture says, leading the blind into the abyss, but the one who sees clearly and discerns the heart, the word. Just as there is no light that does not illuminate, no mover that does not move, no lover that does not love, so there is no good that does not benefit and lead to salvation. Therefore let us love the Lord's commandments through works, for the word itself, having become flesh, clearly displays the same virtue, both practical and theoretical, and, considering the word as law, let us recognize his commandments and exhortations as short and direct paths to eternity; for his precepts are full of persuasion, not fear. That the word is pedagogue equally for men and women. Therefore, having embraced this good obedience, let us give ourselves over to the Lord, having fastened the most secure cable of his faith, having understood that the same virtue belongs to man and woman.

The prophetic spirit also understands us as children: \"Plucking branches of olive or palm,\" it says, \"the children went out to meet the Lord and cried out, saying, 'Hosanna to the son of David, blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, light and glory and praise with supplication to the Lord'\"; for this is what \"Hosanna\" means when interpreted in the Greek language.

So children are rightly those who have God alone as father, simple and infantile and pure, lovers of the horns of unicorns. To those advanced in the Word, at any rate, he proclaimed this voice, bidding them to disregard the things of this world and exhorting them to attend only to the father, imitating children. Hence also in the sayings he says, Do not be anxious about tomorrow; for its own evil is sufficient for the day. Thus he commands that, having laid aside the cares of life, we cling only to the father. And the one who fulfills this commandment is truly an infant and a child to God and to the world, to the former as beloved, to the latter as deceived. But if there is one teacher in the heavens, as scripture says, then by common consent all on earth would rightly be called disciples. For the truth is this: perfection belongs to the Lord, who always teaches, while the childish and infantile belongs to us, who always learn.

For the old generation is crooked and hard-hearted, but the band of infants, the new people, is we, delicate as a child. The apostle confesses that he rejoices in the hearts of the innocent in the Epistle to the Romans, and indeed he gives a kind of definition of infants, so to speak, saying: \"I wish you to be wise for good, but innocent for evil.\" For the name \"infant\" is not understood by us as a privation, since the grammarians' children legislate that \"ne\" is privative. For if those who revile infancy call us foolish, see how they blaspheme against the Lord, supposing those who have fled to God to be foolish; but if, as is rather to be understood, they themselves interpret \"infants\" as referring to the simple, let us rejoice in the appellation. For infant minds are the new minds, in old foolishness the recently intelligent, those that have arisen according to the new covenant.

O the wise play, laughter aided even through endurance, and the king as overseer. The spirit of the children in Christ who live their lives in endurance rejoices, and this is the divine play. Heraclitus says that Zeus plays some such play. For what other seemly work is there for a wise and perfect being than to play and to rejoice together with the endurance of good things and the administration of good things, celebrating the festival together with God? It is also possible to understand otherwise what is indicated by the prophecy, that we rejoice and laugh at salvation like Isaac. And he laughed, released from death, playing and rejoicing with his bride, the helper for our salvation, the church; to which the name endurance has been firmly set, either because she alone remains forever always rejoicing, or because she is constituted from the endurance of the faithful, who are members of Christ; and the testimony of those who have endured to the end, and the thanksgiving for these things, this is the mystic play and the salvation that aids with seemly cheerfulness. So the king, Christ, oversees our laughter from above, and having looked through the window, as the scripture says, he beholds the thanksgiving and the blessing, the exultation and the cheerfulness, and also endurance working together, and their interweaving, the church, his own, only showing his own face, which the church lacks, completed as a kingdom with a head.

I will also set forth another very strong point in support of the argument. The Spirit, through Isaiah, prophesies that the Lord himself is called a child: \"Behold, a child has been born to us, a son has been given to us, whose beginning is upon his shoulder, and his name was called the angel of great counsel.\" What then is the infant child, in whose image we are infants? Through the same prophet, his greatness is described: \"a wonderful counselor, a powerful god, an eternal father, a prince of peace, who multiplies instruction; and of his peace there is no end.\" O the great God, O the perfect child: son in father, and father in son. And how is the instruction of that child not perfect, which extends to all of us children, educating us, his infants? He stretched out his hands to us, hands that are clearly trusted.

And it is possible for us, out of abundance, to strip for action against the quarrelsome: for we are not called \"children\" and \"infants\" with reference to the childishness and contemptibility of learning, as those puffed up with knowledge have slanderously alleged; but having been reborn, we immediately received the perfection, for the sake of which we hastened. For we were enlightened; and that is to know God. Therefore, one who has known the perfect is not imperfect. And do not take hold of me for confessing to have known God. For somehow the Word thought to speak thus: and he is free. At any rate, when the Lord was being baptized, a voice from heaven resounded as a witness: \"You are my beloved son, the beloved; today I have begotten you.\" Let us then ask the wise: is Christ, having been reborn today, already perfect, or—which is most absurd—deficient? And if this latter, he must learn something more. But it is likely that he, being God, learns not even one thing.

And if he was perfect, why was the perfect one baptized? They say it was necessary to fulfill the human promise. Excellently. For I say: at the same time as he was baptized by John, does he become perfect? Clearly. Did he then learn nothing from him? No. Is he perfected by the bath alone and sanctified by the descent of the Spirit? So it is. And the same thing happens also in our case, for whom the Lord became a pattern: being baptized, we are illuminated; being illuminated, we are adopted as sons; being adopted, we are perfected; being perfected, we are made immortal. \"I,\" he says, \"said, 'You are gods and sons of the Most High, all of you.'\" This work is called by many names: grace, illumination, perfection, and bath. Bath, because through it we wash away our sins; grace, because through it the penalties for sins are remitted; illumination, because through it that holy, saving light is beheld—that is, through it we see the divine keenly; and perfection, we say, is that which lacks nothing. For what further remains for one who has known God? Indeed, it would be truly absurd for a gift of God to be called incomplete; but being perfect, he will surely bestow perfect gifts. And just as everything happens at his command, so, when he merely wills to bestow grace, it follows that the grace is fulfilled. For the future of time is anticipated by the power of his will.

There is, so to speak, an impulse, which is faith born in time, and an end, which is the attainment of the promise confirmed for eternity. The Lord himself most clearly revealed the equality of salvation when he said: \"For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.\" Therefore, as far as is possible in this world, which he hinted at as the last day reserved for when it will cease, we believe that we become perfect.

Rather, he calls those in the law \"children,\" who are disturbed by fear, just as children are by bogeymen, and he has called \"men\" those who are obedient to reason and self-determined, who are saved by voluntary choice, being wisely, not foolishly, frightened by fear. The apostle himself will bear witness concerning this, saying that the Jews are heirs according to the former covenant, but we are heirs according to the promise. \"I say,\" he says, \"that for as long as the heir is a child, he differs in no way from a slave, though he is lord of all, but he is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by his father.\" Thus also we, when we were children, were enslaved under the elements of the world.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"ἐν τῇ προτέρᾳ πρὸς Κορινθίους ἐπιστολῇ","severity":"info","text":"Clement cites 1 Corinthians, but the quotation 'Brothers, do not become children in your minds...' is not a direct biblical verse; it is a paraphrase or conflation.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"νήπιον","severity":"info","text":"Clement notes that νήπιον (child) has two meanings: literal childhood and a figurative state of immaturity under the Law, contrasting with spiritual adulthood.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"μορμολυκείοις","severity":"info","text":"μορμολύκεια (bogeymen) refers to frightening masks or figures used to scare children, a common trope in Greek moral philosophy to illustrate irrational fear.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Δύο γὰρ σημαίνει τὸ νήπιον","severity":"info","text":"This phrase marks a structural pivot: Clement clarifies the polysemy of νήπιον before contrasting the Law (childhood) with the Gospel (adulthood).","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"parallel","kind":"parallel","basis":"text","lemma":"κληρονόμους","severity":"info","text":"Clement parallels Paul's distinction between Jewish heirs under the old covenant and Christian heirs by promise, echoing Galatians 3:29 and Romans 8:17.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"text","lemma":"ὁ μακάριος Παῦλος","severity":"info","text":"Clement's epithet 'blessed Paul' reflects the high authority of Paul in early Alexandrian Christianity, shaping exegesis of childhood as spiritual immaturity.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The exact Pauline source of the paraphrase 'Brothers, do not become children...' is unclear; it may conflate 1 Cor 14:20 with other passages.","The phrase 'when I was a child, I thought as a child' is attributed to Paul but not found verbatim in the canonical epistles."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":28,"ref":"p28","source":"ὅτε δὲ ἦλθεν τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου, ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, γενόμενον ἐκ γυναικός, γενόμενον ὑπὸ νόμον, ἵνα τοὺς ὑπὸ νόμον ἐξαγοράσῃ, ἵνα τὴν υἱοθεσίαν ἀπολάβωμεν δι' αὐτοῦ.

See how he acknowledged that those under fear and sins were infants, while calling those under faith sons, he made them men in contrast to the infants in the law. For no longer, he says, are you a slave, but a son; and if a son, then also an heir through God. What then is lacking for the son after the inheritance?

But infancy in Christ is perfection, as compared to the law. Here, having arrived at our infancy, we must plead for it. Moreover, the saying of the apostle must be further explained: \"I gave you milk, as infants in Christ, not solid food; for you were not yet able; but not even now are you able.\" For it does not seem to me that the saying should be understood in a Jewish manner.

For such is the life-nourishing substance of milk, flowing from loving breasts; so that the whole is understood thus: just as nurses nourish newborn children with milk, so I, with the milk of Christ, the Word, instill spiritual nourishment in you. Thus, indeed, milk is perfect food, the perfect, and leads the unceasing to its end. Therefore, even in the rest, this same milk and honey are promised. Reasonably, the Lord again promises milk to the righteous, so that the Word may clearly be shown as both, alpha and omega, beginning and end, the Word allegorized as milk. Something of this sort even Homer, unwittingly, prophesies, calling the righteous of men milk-eaters. It is also possible to understand the scripture in this way: \"And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to fleshly men, as to infants in Christ,\" so that the fleshly may be understood as those recently catechized and still infants in Christ.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"glossary","lemma":"γάλακτος","severity":"info","text":"Milk (γάλα) is a central metaphor in Clement's Paedagogus, symbolizing the simple, nourishing, and initial stage of Christian instruction, the Logos as spiritual food.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"γάλα ὑμᾶς ἐπότισα ἐν Χριστῷ","severity":"info","text":"Clement paraphrases or invokes a scriptural image of milk as spiritual nourishment, possibly echoing 1 Corinthians 3:2 or similar Pauline language about feeding with milk.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"background","lemma":"Ὅμηρος","severity":"info","text":"Clement cites Homer (likely Iliad 13.6) calling the righteous 'milk-eaters' (γαλακτοφάγους), a rare pagan parallel used to support Christian allegory of milk as perfect food.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"ὡς νηπίοις","severity":"info","text":"Clement proposes a specific reading with a pause (διαστήσαντες) to reinterpret 'as to infants' as a comparison, not a literal description, showing his exegetical method.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"text","lemma":"γάλα καὶ μέλι","severity":"info","text":"The promise of milk and honey in rest (ἀναπαύσει) reflects early Christian eschatological imagery, also found in apocalyptic texts, linking nourishment to final reward.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"caution","kind":"caution","basis":"text","lemma":"ἀναγνωστέον ὧδέ πως τὸ ῥητόν","severity":"caution","text":"Clement's proposed punctuation (a pause after 'milk') is a conjectural emendation; the original text's phrasing is ambiguous, and his reading is interpretive, not certain.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The exact scriptural source of 'I gave you milk in Christ' is unclear; it may be a paraphrase or lost citation.","Clement's proposed pause in reading is a textual conjecture, not attested in manuscripts."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":30,"ref":"p30","source":"Πνευματικοὺς μὲν γὰρ τοὺς πεπιστευκότας ἤδη τῷ ἁγίῳ πνεύματι προσεῖπεν, σαρκικοὺς δὲ τοὺς νεοκατηχήτους καὶ μηδέπω κεκαθαρμένους, οὓς ἔτι σαρκικοὺς εἰκότως λέγει ἐπ' ἴσης τοῖς ἐθνικοῖς τὰ σαρκὸς ἔτι φρονοῦν1.6.36.4 τας.

In this way, rivers, borne with a roar, when the encompassing air is caught up and carded, bubble up foam, and the moisture in our mouth is whitened by the breath. What then is the caprice of not admitting that blood too is changed by the breath into something most luminous and white? It undergoes the change in quality, not in substance. At any rate, you would find nothing more nourishing, nor sweeter, nor whiter than milk. Spiritual food is entirely like this: sweet because of grace, nourishing as life, white as the day of Christ, and the blood of the Word has been manifested as milk. Thus, in childbirth, milk is supplied to the infant, being administered for this purpose, and the breasts, which until then looked straight at the man, now incline toward the child, taught to provide the nourishment prepared by nature, easily taken, for the nurture of salvation. For the breasts are not full like springs with milk flowing in ready-made, but by transforming the food within themselves they produce milk and exude it. This suitable and appropriate nourishment for a newly formed and newly born child is prepared by God, the nourisher and father of those who are born and reborn, just as manna flowed from heaven to the ancient Hebrews, the celestial food of angels. Indeed, even now nurses call the first flow of milk by the same name as that food, manna. But women who are pregnant, having become mothers, produce milk.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"αἷμα ... γάλα","severity":"info","text":"Clement argues that milk is a transformation of blood, not a different substance, using the analogy of rivers foaming and saliva whitened by breath.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"πνεῦμα","severity":"info","text":"πνεῦμα here means both 'breath' (physiological agent of change) and 'Spirit' (theological agent), linking the physical transformation of blood to milk with spiritual nourishment.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"τὸ αἷμα τοῦ λόγου πεφανέρωται ὡς γάλα","severity":"info","text":"The phrase 'the blood of the Word has been manifested as milk' echoes Eucharistic and Johannine imagery (John 1:1, 6:53–56), interpreting Christ's blood as spiritual milk for believers.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"μάννα","severity":"info","text":"Clement compares milk to manna, the heavenly food of the Hebrews (Exodus 16), and notes that nurses call the first milk 'manna', linking Christian nurture to Old Testament typology.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"parallel","kind":"parallel","basis":"text","lemma":"οἱ μαστοί ... κατανεύουσι πρὸς τὸ παιδίον","severity":"info","text":"The description of breasts inclining toward the child after pregnancy parallels ancient medical views (e.g., Galen) that milk is redirected menstrual blood, a common physiological theory in Clement's era.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"text","lemma":"πνευματικὴ τροφή","severity":"info","text":"Clement's equation of milk with 'spiritual food' influenced later ascetic and sacramental theology, where milk symbolizes catechetical instruction and the simplicity of Christian life.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The phrase 'τὸ αἷμα τοῦ λόγου' could refer to Christ's blood in the Eucharist or metaphorically to the Word's life-giving power; the reading taken is Eucharistic and Johannine.","The term 'πνεῦμα' is ambiguous between physical breath and Holy Spirit; the annotation treats it as both, given Clement's allegorical method."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":35,"ref":"p35","source":"ὁ δὲ κύριος ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ τῆς παρθένου καρπὸς οὐκ ἐμακάρισεν τοὺς γυναικείους μαστοὺς οὐδὲ ἔκρινεν αὐτοὺς τροφεῖς, ἀλλὰ τοῦ φιλοστόργου καὶ φιλανθρώπου πατρὸς ἐπομβρήσαντος τὸν λόγον αὐτὸς ἤδη τροφὴ γέγονεν πνευματικὴ τοῖς σώφροσιν.

The nourishment, that is, the Lord Jesus, that is, the Word of God, spirit made flesh, sanctified heavenly flesh. The nourishment is the milk of the Father, by which alone we infants are nursed. Indeed, the beloved Word himself, our nourisher, poured out his own blood for us, saving humanity; through him, having believed in God, we flee to the care-dispelling breast of the Father, the Word, which alone, as it seems, supplies the milk of love to us infants, and truly blessed alone are those who suckle this breast. For this reason Peter also says: laying aside all wickedness and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and slander, as newborn babes, yearn for the rational milk, so that you may grow in it unto salvation, if you have tasted that the Lord is good. But if one should also concede to them that the food is something other than milk, then how will they not be impaled on themselves, not having understood nature?

It has been demonstrated by us a little earlier that blood changes into milk in pregnant women by transformation, not by substance, just as, of course, blond hair in the aging changes into gray. In summer, on the contrary, since the body is more rarefied, it provides nourishment that is more easily distributed, and milk is least abundant, because blood is also not abundant; for not all nourishment is retained. If, then, the processing of nourishment becomes blood, and blood becomes milk, blood is a preparation for milk, as seed is for a human and a grape seed for a vine. Therefore, with milk, the Lord's nourishment, we are nursed immediately after birth, and immediately after being reborn we have been honored with the hope of rest, proclaiming the good news of the heavenly Jerusalem, where it is recorded that honey and milk rain down, through material nourishment also courting the holy nourishment. For foods are abolished, as the apostle himself says, but nourishment through milk leads to the heavens, having raised citizens of the heavens and fellow dancers of angels. Since the Word is a gushing spring of life and is called a river of oil, Paul, allegorizing and naming it milk, fittingly adds \"I gave to drink\"; for the Word is drunk, the nourishment of truth. Indeed, drink is also called liquid nourishment.

Since he also said, \"The bread which I give is my flesh,\" and flesh is watered by blood, and blood is allegorized as wine, it must be understood that, just as bread crumbled into a mixture absorbs the wine and leaves behind the watery part, so also the flesh of the Lord, the bread of the heavens, drinks up the blood, nourishing the heavenly among men to incorruption, while leaving behind only those carnal desires for corruption. Thus the Word is allegorized in many ways: as food, flesh, nourishment, bread, blood, and milk—all of which the Lord provides for our enjoyment, we who have believed in him. Let no one, then, be surprised that we say the blood of the Lord is allegorized as milk; for is not wine also allegorized? \"He who washes his garment in wine,\" it says, \"and his covering in the blood of the grape\"—he means that he will adorn the body of the Word with his own blood, just as he will nourish with his own spirit those who hunger for the Word. That the blood is the Word is witnessed by the blood of the righteous Abel crying out to God; for blood would never utter a voice, unless the Word is understood as the blood. For the righteous man of old is a type of the new righteous man, and the blood that cries out, the old, intercedes on behalf of the blood of the new. The blood, the Word, speaks to God, since it signified the Word that was to suffer.

The mixture flourishes, but excess leads to childlessness. Indeed, even in the earth itself, the seed is washed away by flooding when drenched, and dried up by drought when lacking moisture, while a viscous fluid holds the seed together and makes it grow. Some suppose that the seed of the animal is, in substance, foam of the blood, which, stirred up by the innate heat of the male during intercourse, is fanned and foamed, and deposited in the spermatic veins; hence Diogenes of Apollonia wishes the term \"aphrodisia\" to be derived. It is therefore evident from all this that the substance of the human body is blood. Moreover, the embryo is at first a fluid, milk-like consistency; then this consistency, becoming bloodied, is fleshed out, and, being solidified in the womb by the natural and warm breath, by which the embryo is shaped, it is brought to life. And even after birth, the child is again nourished by the same blood; for the flow of milk is the nature of blood, and milk is the source of nourishment, by which indeed a woman is manifestly truly a mother, and through which she also gains a bond of affection. Therefore, mystically, the Holy Spirit in the Apostle, using the Lord's voice, says, \"I have given you milk to drink.\" For if we have been reborn into Christ, the one who rebirthed us nourishes us with his own milk, the Word.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"background","lemma":"ἐπὶ μῆνα καθάρσεως","severity":"info","text":"Clement draws on ancient embryological theory, notably the Hippocratic and Aristotelian idea that the embryo forms from a mixture of male seed and female menstrual blood.

It is permitted, then, for each of us infants to boast in the Lord, uttering: \"I pray to be from a good father and of his blood.\" That milk comes from blood by transformation is already clear, but it is also possible to learn from flocks and herds. For these animals, during the season we call spring, when the surrounding air has become more moist, and the grass and pastures are at that time juicy and full of sap, become filled with blood first, as is shown by the distention of the veins, the vessels swelling; and from the blood milk flows more abundantly. In summer, on the contrary, the blood, burned and dried up by the heat, stops the transformation, and accordingly less milk is drawn. Indeed, milk has a most natural kinship with water, just as, of course, spiritual washing has with spiritual nourishment; for those who sip a little cold water with the aforementioned milk are immediately benefited.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"πᾶν γὰρ τὸ γεννῆσαν ἔοικεν εὐθὺς παρέχειν τῷ γεννωμένῳ τροφήν","severity":"info","text":"Clement asserts a universal principle: every parent immediately provides nourishment to offspring.

Moreover, milk is also mixed with sweet wine, and the mixture is beneficial, just as passion is blended into incorruption; for the milk is separated and divided by the wine, and whatever is spurious in it is drained away. In the same way, the spiritual communion of faith with the passible human being, draining away the carnal desires, contracts the human being into eternity, immortalizing him with divine things.

And in general, whatever we might reasonably ask of God to be done for us, these things will befall those who obey the Pedagogue. In the same way that the pilot does not always yield to the winds, but sometimes with the prow turned directly against them resists even entire gales, so the Pedagogue never yields to the winds that blow in this world, nor does he allow the child, like a ship, to be dashed against a bestial and licentious regimen. But, borne only by the wind of truth, he firmly clings to the child’s rudders—I mean the ears—until he brings the child safely to anchor in the harbor of the heavens. For what is called ancestral custom among men does not yet pass away, but divine education is a possession that remains forever. They say that Phoenix was the Pedagogue of Achilles, Adrastus of Croesus’s children, Leonidas of Alexander, and Nausithous of Philip. But Phoenix was a womanizer, Adrastus was a fugitive, Leonidas did not remove the arrogance of the Macedonian, nor did Nausithous cure the one from Pella of his drunkenness. Nor was Zopyrus the Thracian able to restrain the debauchery of Alcibiades, but Zopyrus was a purchased slave, and the Pedagogue of Themistocles’s children, Sicinnus, was a lazy household slave; they say he invented dancing and the sicinnis.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"παιδαγωγὸς","severity":"info","text":"Clement develops the metaphor of the pedagogue as a general and a pilot, emphasizing guidance toward salvation.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"glossary","lemma":"παιδαγωγὸς","severity":"info","text":"The term 'pedagogue' here refers to Christ as the divine teacher and guide, distinct from human tutors.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"external","lemma":"Φοῖνιξ","severity":"info","text":"Phoenix, a mythological figure, was the tutor of Achilles; Clement critiques his moral failings to contrast with the divine pedagogue.","cites":[],"named_sources":["Homer Iliad"],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"parallel","kind":"parallel","basis":"text","lemma":"κυβερνήτης","severity":"info","text":"The pilot metaphor echoes Stoic and Platonic imagery of the soul's navigation, common in early Christian literature.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"external","lemma":"Σίκιννος","severity":"info","text":"Sicinnus, a slave of Themistocles, is said to have invented the sicinnis dance; Clement uses this to disparage pagan education.","cites":[],"named_sources":["Herodotus Histories"],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Ὥσπερ...οὕτως","severity":"info","text":"The passage uses a series of analogies (general, pilot) to reinforce the pedagogue's role, followed by negative exempla from Greek myth and history.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The Greek text at 1.7.54.3 has a textual break; the reading 'πειθομένοις' is adopted, meaning 'those who obey'."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":46,"ref":"p46","source":"Οὐκ ἔλαθον ἡμᾶς οἱ παρὰ Πέρσαις βασίλειοι καλούμενοι παιδαγωγοί, οὓς τέτταρας τὸν ἀριθμὸν ἀριστίνδην ἐκλέγοντες ἐκ πάντων Περσῶν οἱ βασιλεῖς Περσῶν τοῖς σφῶν αὐτῶν ἐφίστων παισίν· ἀλλὰ τοξεύειν μόνον οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῖς μανθάνουσιν, ἡβήσαντες δὲ ἀδελφαῖς καὶ μητράσιν καὶ γυναιξὶν γαμεταῖς τε ἅμα καὶ παλλακίσιν ἀναρίθμοις ἐπιμίσγονται, καθάπερ οἱ κάπροι εἰς συνουσίαν ἠσκημένοι.

Who, then, would educate us more kindly than this one? Now formerly, for the older people, there was an older covenant, and law educated the people with fear, and the Word was an angel; but for a new and young people, a new and young covenant has been given, and the Word has been born, and fear has been transformed into love, and that mystic angel Jesus is born. For this same pedagogue then said, \"You will fear the Lord God,\" but to us he exhorted, \"You will love the Lord your God.\" Therefore he also commands us: \"Cease from your works, from your old sins; learn to do good.\"\n\n\"Turn away from evil and do good; you have loved righteousness, you have hated lawlessness.\" This is my new covenant inscribed in an old letter. So the youth of the Word is not to be reproached. But also in Jeremiah the Lord says: \"Do not say that I am young; before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you came forth from the womb I sanctified you.\" These things the prophecy can hint to us, who were known to God for faith before the foundation of the world, but are now infants because of the recently fulfilled will of God, in that we have become newborns for calling and salvation. Hence it also adds: \"I have set you as a prophet among the nations,\" saying that he must not think the appellation \"younger\" is a reproach to those called infants. And the law is an old grace given through Moses by the Word. Therefore Scripture says: \"The law was given through Moses, not by Moses,\" but by the Word, through Moses his servant.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"παιδαγωγὸς","severity":"info","text":"The term 'pedagogue' (παιδαγωγός) is central to Clement's work, here applied to the Logos as the divine educator who adapts his method to the age of the covenant.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"μὴ λέγε ὅτι νεώτερός εἰμι","severity":"info","text":"Clement cites Jeremiah (likely Jer 1:6-7 LXX) where God tells the prophet not to plead youth, adapting it to argue that the 'young' covenant is not inferior.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"ὁ νόμος διὰ Μωσέως ἐδόθη","severity":"info","text":"Clement echoes a common patristic distinction (cf.

Observe the words of Scripture: under the law, it says, it was given only, but truth, being the grace of the Father, is the eternal work of the Word and is no longer said to be given, but to come into being through Jesus, without whom nothing came into being. For instance, Moses, prophetically yielding to the perfect pedagogue, the Word, both the name and the pedagogy he foretells, and he entrusts the pedagogue to the people, having given them commands of obedience. God will raise up for you, he says, a prophet like me from among your brothers, hinting at Jesus the son of Nun, and at Jesus the son of God; for the name Jesus proclaimed in the law was a sketch of the Lord. Then he adds, advising what is beneficial for the people, you will listen to him, he says, and he threatens the man who does not listen to this prophet. Such a name of a saving pedagogue he prophesies for us. For this reason prophecy places a rod in his hand, a rod of discipline, of authority, of power, so that those whom the persuasive word does not heal, threat will heal; those whom threat does not heal, the rod will heal; those whom the rod does not heal, fire consumes. A rod will come forth, it says, from the root of Jesse. Observe the care, the wisdom, and the power of the pedagogue: he will not judge according to opinion, he says, nor will he convict according to speech, but he will judge with a humble judgment and will convict the sinners of the earth.

For there is nothing that the Lord hates; for he does not hate something and yet wish it to exist, that which he hates, nor does he wish something not to exist and yet become the cause of its existence, that which he wishes not to exist, nor does he wish something not to exist and yet it exists. If, therefore, the Word hates anything, he wishes it not to exist; but there is nothing for which God does not provide the cause of existence; therefore nothing is hated by God, nor by the Word; for both are one, God, because he said in the beginning the Word was in God, and the Word was God. But if he hates none of the things that have come into being by him, it remains that he loves them. Much more, then, will he love man, reasonably, the most beautiful of his creations and the God-loving creature. Therefore God is philanthropic, therefore the Word is philanthropic. And he who loves something wishes to benefit it, and that which benefits would certainly be better than that which does not benefit, and nothing is better than the good; therefore the good benefits; and God is agreed to be good, therefore God benefits. But the good, inasmuch as it is good, does nothing other than benefit; therefore God benefits all. And surely he does not benefit man in some respect but not also care for him, nor care for him but not also take thought for him.

It is also called good in another sense, that which is beneficial, not because it pleases but because it profits. All these things justice is: both as virtue and as choiceworthy for its own sake, good, and as not giving pleasure; for it does not judge to curry favor, but is distributive of what is due to each, and the profitable follows the beneficial. Therefore, in all the respects in which the good is examined, justice is also characterized, both equally partaking of the same things; and things characterized by equals are equal to each other and alike; hence justice is good. How then, they say, if the Lord is philanthropic and good, does he become angry and punish? It is necessary, therefore, to discuss this also as briefly as possible, since this kind of management is somehow beneficial for the correct education of children, having the rank of a necessary aid. Many passions are cured by punishment and by the prescription of stricter commands, and indeed also through the teaching of certain doctrines. Rebuke is, as it were, a surgery of the passions of the soul, and the passions are a defection from the truth, which must be refuted by cutting them apart with the incision. Reproach resembles a medication, dissolving the calluses of the passions and cleansing the sordidness of life, the lusts, and also smoothing out the excrescences of pride, refashioning man into the healthy and true one.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"ἀγαθὸν","severity":"info","text":"Clement distinguishes two senses of 'good': intrinsic goodness (as in justice itself) and beneficial goodness (as in what profits).

Ἀγαθὴ δὲ αὕτη ἡ τέχνη,","english":"If those who are corrected suffer good things at the hands of the just, even according to Plato, the just is agreed to be good. Fear itself, at any rate, benefits and has been devised for the good of men, because a spirit that fears the Lord will live; for hope is placed in the one who saves them. This same word, when imposing punishment, is a judge, concerning whom even Isaiah says, \"The Lord delivered him to our sins,\" clearly as a corrector and director of sins. For this reason, this one alone is able to forgive transgressions, having been appointed by the father of all as our paedagogus, the only one capable of distinguishing obedience from disobedience. But the one who threatens is manifestly unwilling to do any evil nor to carry out what he threatens; having instilled fear, he has checked the impulse toward sins and displays his philanthropy, intending still and making clear what they will suffer if they remain sinners, not like a serpent that, having fastened itself, bites immediately. Therefore God is good. And the Lord indeed makes much use of speech before the deed. For, he says, \"My arrows will destroy them; wasting away with hunger and as food for birds, and a backward-bending incurable; I will send the teeth of wild beasts against them, dragging them with fury on the ground. Outside, the sword will make them childless, and from the storerooms, fear.\" So the divine is not angry, as some have thought, but for the most part threatens, and has exhorted humanity in all things and pointed out how they should act. And this art is good.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"ὁμολογεῖται ἀγαθὸν εἶναι τὸν δίκαιον","severity":"info","text":"Clement argues that correction by the just is a good, aligning with Plato, to show God's justice is benevolent.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"πνεῦμα φοβούμενον κύριον ζήσεται","severity":"info","text":"This echoes a biblical sentiment (cf.

And God does not inflict punishment out of anger, but looks to what is just, since it is not beneficial for justice to be neglected on our account. Each of us chooses the punishments himself, willingly sinning; the cause lies with the one who chooses, and God is blameless. But if our injustice establishes the justice of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust, who inflicts the anger? Far from it. Indeed, He says in threatening: I will sharpen my sword, and my hand will hold judgment, and I myself will exact justice from enemies and from those who hate; I will drench my arrows with blood, and my sword will eat flesh from the blood of the wounded. For it is clear here that those who are not hostile to the truth nor hate the Word would not hate their own salvation, but would escape the penalties of enmity. Therefore, the crown of wisdom, as wisdom says, is the fear of the Lord. Very clearly, then, through the prophet Amos, the Word has revealed His own economy, saying: I overturned you, as God overturned Sodom and Gomorrah, and you became like a brand snatched from the fire, and you did not even then turn back to me, says the Lord. Do you see how God, out of love for goodness, seeks repentance, and alongside the economy of the threat, quietly displays His own philanthropy? I will turn my face away from them, He says, and I will show what will become of them. For where the face of the Lord looks, there is peace and rejoicing; but where it is turned away, evil creeps in.

See then, says Paul, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, kindness toward you, if you persist in kindness, that is, in faith in Christ. Hatred of evil follows the good, because he is good by nature. Therefore I would admit that he punishes the unbelievers, for punishment is for the good and for the benefit of the one punished, since it is a correction of one who resists, but he does not wish to take vengeance. Vengeance is a requital of evil sent back for the benefit of the one avenged. He who teaches us to pray for those who abuse us would not desire to take vengeance. But that God is good, all confess even unwillingly; and that the same God is also just, I need no further words, having set forth the evangelical saying of the Lord: he says one thing: that all may be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, so that they also may be one in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. And I have given them the glory which you gave me, that they may be one as we are one; I in them and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; and one is God, and beyond the one and above the monad itself.

Righteous Father, and the world did not know you, but I knew you, and they knew you, because you sent me; and I made known to them your name, and I will make it known.\" This is the one who repays the sins of fathers upon children to those who hate, and shows mercy to those who love. For the one who places some on the right and others on the left, insofar as he is understood as father, being good, is called good by that very fact alone; but insofar as he is son, his word being in the father, he is called just from the mutual relation of love, a name measured by equality of power. \"He will judge a man,\" it says, \"according to his works,\" the face of a good balance having made known to us Jesus as righteousness from God, through whom we have also known God, as from an equal-weighted scale. Concerning this, Wisdom also explicitly says: \"For mercy and wrath are with him; for he alone is lord of both: a ruler of propitiations, pouring forth wrath.\" According to his great mercy, so also is his reproof; for the aim of mercy and reproof is the salvation of those reproved. Indeed, that God himself, the father of our Lord Jesus, is good, the same word will again confess, that he is kind even to the ungrateful and wicked, and further says, \"Become compassionate, just as your father is compassionate.\" Not only that, but also when he explicitly says, \"No one is good except my father who is in heaven.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"πάτερ, οὓς ἔδωκάς μοι, θέλω ἵνα ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγώ, κἀκεῖνοι ὦσι μετ' ἐμοῦ","severity":"info","text":"Clement cites a non-canonical saying of Jesus, possibly from the Gospel of the Hebrews or another apocryphal source, not found in the canonical Gospels.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"ἰσότητι μεμετρημένον ὄνομα δυνάμεως","severity":"info","text":"The phrase 'name measured by equality of power' reflects Clement's theological concept of divine justice as proportional and relational, linking Father and Son through love.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"ἀγαθοῦ ζυγοῦ πρόσωπον","severity":"info","text":"The image of a 'good balance' (ζυγός) is a metaphor for divine justice, common in Greek philosophical and Jewish wisdom literature, used here to align Christ with righteousness.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"ἡ σοφία διαρρήδην λέγει","severity":"info","text":"Clement quotes a wisdom saying ('mercy and wrath are with him') likely from the Wisdom of Solomon or a similar Hellenistic Jewish text, though the exact source is uncertain.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Ὁ γὰρ ἱστὰς τοὺς μὲν ἐκ δεξιῶν, τοὺς δὲ ἐξ εὐωνύμων","severity":"info","text":"This passage contrasts the Father as 'good' and the Son as 'just', using spatial imagery (right/left) to articulate a relational theology of divine attributes.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"caution","kind":"caution","basis":"text","lemma":"οὐδεὶς ἀγαθός, εἰ μὴ ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς","severity":"caution","text":"This saying, attributed to Jesus, is not found in canonical Gospels and may be from an apocryphal source; its interpretation as exclusive goodness of the Father is debated.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The source of the first saying (πάτερ, οὓς ἔδωκάς μοι) is unclear; it may be from a lost apocryphal gospel.

And again, my father, he says, rains upon the just and the unjust. Insofar as he rains, he is the creator of waters and clouds; insofar as he rains upon all, he is justly balanced and impartial; and as good, he rains alike upon the just and the unjust.

It is therefore indisputable that the Lord is also the son of the creator. And if the creator is acknowledged by all to be just, and the Lord is the son of the creator, then the Lord is the son of the just one. For this reason Paul says, \"But now, without the law, the justice of God has been revealed,\" and again, \"So that you may more fully understand God as just, and the justice of God through faith in Jesus Christ, for all who believe; for there is no distinction,\" and further, bearing witness to the truth, he adds shortly after, \"in the forbearance of God,\" as an indication that he is just and that he justifies Jesus through faith.

Great is the wisdom concerning his pedagogy, and the manner of his economy is varied for salvation.

With all his might, therefore, the pedagogue of humanity, our divine Word, employing every device of wisdom, has set out to save the infants, admonishing, reproving, rebuking, convicting, threatening, healing, promising, granting favors, binding the irrational impulses of humanity with many, as it were, bridles. To put it concisely, the Lord is to us as we are to our children. Do you have children? Educate them, wisdom exhorts, and bend them from their youth. Do you have daughters? Watch over their bodies, and do not brighten your face toward them. Yet we love our children, both sons and daughters, exceedingly and above all else. But since those who speak to please love little what they do not grieve, while those who are severe for the sake of benefit, even if painful for the moment, yet benefit for the age to come, the Lord has not considered immediate pleasure, but future delight. Let us now also go through the manner of his philanthropic pedagogy with prophetic testimony. Admonition, then, is a caring censure, productive of understanding. Such is the pedagogue when admonishing, as he says in the Gospel: How often I wished to gather your children, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you did not wish it.

He also admonishes through Isaiah, caring for the people, when he says: \"This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.\" This is a reproach of censure; they vainly worship me, teaching the precepts of human doctrines. Here, care, having revealed the sin, shows salvation by contrast. A rebuke is a censure for shameful things, reclaiming toward the good. This he indicates through Jeremiah: \"They became mares in heat, each neighed at his neighbor's wife.\" \"Shall I not visit them for these things?\" says the Lord. \"Or shall my soul not take vengeance on such a people?\" He everywhere interweaves fear, because fear of the Lord is the beginning of perception. And again through Hosea: \"Shall I not visit them?\" he says, \"because they consorted with prostitutes and sacrificed with the initiated, and the people who understood consorted with a harlot.\" He shows their sin more clearly, acknowledging that they understand, as those who sin willingly. And understanding is the vision of the soul.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Ἰεζεκιήλ","severity":"info","text":"Clement quotes Ezekiel (likely a paraphrase of Ezek 2:6 or similar) to illustrate divine foreknowledge and philanthropy.

Blame is a reproach for those who are negligent or careless. He uses this method of pedagogy through Isaiah, saying: \"Hear, O heaven, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord has spoken: I begot sons and raised them high, but they rejected me. The ox knew its owner, and the donkey its master's manger, but Israel did not know me.\" For is it not terrible, if the one who knows God will not know the Lord, but the ox and the donkey, the sluggish and foolish animals, will know their feeder, while Israel is found more irrational than these? And through Jeremiah, after many reproaches against the people, he adds: \"And they abandoned me,\" says the Lord.\n\nRebuke is a reprimand that strikes or a stinging reproach. The pedagogue also uses this treatment through Isaiah, saying: \"Woe, rebellious children, thus says the Lord: You made a plan without me, and covenants without my spirit.\" He employs fear as the harshest astringent at every turn, simultaneously opening and turning the people through it toward salvation, just as wool that is dipped likes to be treated with a mordant, being prepared for the secure reception of the dye. Accusation is a verbal charge that brings sin into the open. He uses this mode of pedagogy especially as necessary, because of the laxity of the faith of the many. For he says through Isaiah: \"You abandoned the Lord and provoked the holy one of Israel.\" And he also says through Jeremiah: \"Heaven was astonished at this, and the earth shuddered greatly, because this people did two evil things.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"Μέμψις","severity":"info","text":"Clement defines μέμψις as ψόγος (blame) directed at the negligent or careless, distinguishing it from other modes of reproof in his pedagogical scheme.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"ἄκουε, οὐρανέ, καὶ ἐνωτίζου, γῆ","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts Isaiah 1:2 LXX, which reads 'Hear, O heaven, and give ear, O earth,' but the following rebuke of Israel is not a direct biblical quotation; it may be a paraphrase or conflation.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"στύμματι","severity":"info","text":"The term στῦμμα (astringent) refers to a mordant used in dyeing to fix color; Clement uses it metaphorically for fear as a harsh but necessary pedagogical tool that prepares the soul for salvation.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Ἐπίπληξις ...

He has mercy on those who accept education and those who hasten to adhere to him; and with this training he preserved six hundred thousand foot soldiers, those gathered together in their hardness of heart, flogging, having mercy, striking, healing, in compassion and discipline.

For this reason Plato, knowing that censure is the greatest power of correction and the most authoritative purification, consistently with his argument maintains that the one who is most impure, uneducated, and shameful has become so through being uncensured, whereas the one who is truly to be happy ought to be most pure and beautiful. For if rulers are not a fear to the good deed, how will God, who is good by nature, be a fear to the one who does not sin? But if you do evil, fear, as the apostle says. For this reason the apostle himself also frequently rebukes the churches in the image of the Lord, and being aware of his own frankness and the weakness of his hearers, he says to the Galatians: Have I become your enemy by speaking the truth to you? And just as the healthy have no need of a physician, insofar as they are strong, while the sick require the art, so also we who are sick in life with regard to shameful desires, blameworthy intemperance, and other inflammations of the passions have need of the Savior; and he applies not only mild remedies but also astringent ones.

Περὶ τούτων καὶ διὰ Δαβὶδ λέγει· γενεὰ σκολιὰ καὶ παραπικραίνουσα, γενεὰ ἥτις οὐ κατεύθυνεν τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστώθη μετὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῆς.

You have obeyed more quickly than I expected, Master; and if they cross over, they will not slip, says the Lord. For we who cross over into incorruption will not fall into corruption, because he himself will hold us fast; for he himself spoke and he himself willed it. Such is our pedagogue, good with justice. I did not come, he says, to be served, but to serve. For this reason he is introduced in the Gospel as weary, he who labors for us and promises to give his own soul as a ransom for many. For he alone acknowledges himself to be a good shepherd; therefore he is generous, giving the greatest thing for us, his own soul, and great in benefit and philanthropic, because, although it is possible for him to be Lord, he has chosen to be brother of men; and he is so good that he even dies for us. But his justice also cries out: if you come straight to me, I also am straight to you; if you go crookedly, I also am crooked, says the Lord of the powers, hinting at the crooked ways of the reproofs of sinners. For the straight and natural way, which the iota of Jesus hints at, is his goodness, immovable and unwavering toward those who have believed out of obedience. Because I called and you did not obey, says the Lord, but you made my counsels invalid, and you did not attend to my reproofs. Thus the Lord's reproof is most beneficial. Concerning these things he also says through David: a crooked and embittering generation, a generation which did not direct its heart, and its spirit was not confirmed with God. They did not guard the covenant of God and did not wish to walk in his law.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"ἰδοὺ πάρειμι","severity":"info","text":"The phrase 'Behold, I am here' introduces Christ as the pedagogue who responds immediately to human need, emphasizing his readiness to serve.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"ἐὰν διαβαίνωσιν, οὐκ ὀλισθήσουσι","severity":"info","text":"This echoes a biblical promise of safe passage, possibly alluding to Psalm 37:31 or similar texts, though the exact source is not cited by Clement.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"glossary","lemma":"παιδαγωγός","severity":"info","text":"The term 'pedagogue' here refers to Christ as the divine guide and teacher, a central metaphor in Clement's work, distinct from a mere servant.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"ἐὰν ὀρθοὶ πρός με ἥκητε, κἀγὼ ὀρθὸς πρὸς ὑμᾶς","severity":"info","text":"This saying of the 'Lord of the powers' is a scriptural paraphrase, likely from the Old Testament, emphasizing reciprocal justice.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"τὸ ἰῶτα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ","severity":"info","text":"The 'iota of Jesus' may refer to the Greek letter iota, symbolizing the straight path or the initial of Jesus' name, a common allegorical device.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"γενεὰ σκολιὰ καὶ παραπικραίνουσα","severity":"info","text":"This quotation from David (likely Psalm 78:8 or similar) describes a crooked and embittered generation, used to illustrate disobedience.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The exact biblical source for 'if they cross over, they will not slip' is not specified; it may be a composite or loose citation.","The phrase 'iota of Jesus' could be a textual variant or allegorical symbol; its precise meaning is debated."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":71,"ref":"p71","source":"Αὗται αἰτίαι παραπικρασμοῦ, δι' ἃς ὁ κριτὴς ἔρχεται τὴν δίκην ἐποίσων τοῖς τὴν εὐζωίαν ἑλέσθαι μὴ βεβουλημένοις.

Thus he knows that they turn back through fear, having despised his philanthropy. For the good, when always gentle, is generally neglected, but it is tended to when it reminds through the philanthropic fear of justice. Now the form of fear is twofold, of which one kind arises with reverence, which citizens use toward good rulers and we toward God, just as prudent children use toward their fathers; for an untamed horse, it is said, turns out harsh, and an undisciplined son turns out headstrong. The other kind of fear arises with hatred, which slaves use toward harsh masters and Hebrews who made God a master, not a father, have used. Much, I think, and entirely does the voluntary and according to choice differ from the compulsory in piety.

For this reason David—that is, the Spirit speaking through him—embracing both, sings of the same God: “Justice and judgment are the preparation of your throne; mercy and truth shall go before your face.” He acknowledges that both judging and doing good belong to the same power; for the authority of both is the judgment of the just, which distinguishes opposites. And the same God is both just and good, the true God, who is himself all things and all things are himself, because he is God, the only God. For just as the mirror is not evil to the ugly man because it shows him as he is, and just as the physician is not evil to the sick man who announces the fever to him—for the physician is not the cause of the fever, but is a revealer of the fever—so neither is the one who reproves ill-disposed toward the one sick in soul; for he does not implant the faults, but reveals the sins that are present, for the turning away from similar practices. Thus God is good for his own sake, but just for our sake, and this because he is good. And he shows us justice through his own Word from above, from the place where he became Father. For before he became Creator, he was God, he was good, and for this reason he wished to be both Creator and Father; and the disposition of that love became the beginning of justice, as he shines forth his own sun and sends down his own Son; and this one first proclaimed from the heavens the good justice, saying, “No one knows the Son except the Father,” nor the Father except the Son.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"δικαιοσύνη καὶ κρίμα ἑτοιμασία τοῦ θρόνου σου· ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθεια προπορεύσονται πρὸ προσώπου σου","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts Psalm 88:15 LXX (Psalm 89:15 MT), altering the order to emphasize justice and judgment as preparation for God's throne, with mercy and truth preceding his face.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"παιδαγωγός","severity":"info","text":"The 'pedagogue' here is Christ as divine educator, whose reproofs (ἐπιτιμήσεις) are just, paralleling God's mercies (οἰκτειρήσεις).

Then justice descended to humanity, both in letter and in body, in word and in law, compelling humanity to saving repentance by force; for it was good. But you do not obey God; blame yourself, for you are drawing the judge upon yourself.\n\nThat the same God, through the same Word, both restrains from sins by threats and saves humanity by exhortation. If, therefore, we have demonstrated that the economy of restraining humanity, being good and saving, is necessarily undertaken by the Word, and is well suited for repentance and for the prevention of sins, it would next be fitting to examine the gentleness of the Word; for this has been shown to be just, and it sets forth its own opinions, which are hortatory toward salvation, through which it wishes to make known to us both the good and the advantageous by paternal will. Observe these: the good belongs to the encomiastic, the advantageous to the deliberative; for indeed, the relation of the deliberative is protreptic and apotreptic, while that of the encomiastic becomes laudatory and censorious. How the deliberative disposition, when it is in a certain state, becomes protreptic, and how, when in another state, apotreptic. Likewise, how the encomiastic, when in one state, becomes censorious, and when in another, laudatory; with these matters the just pedagogue, who has our advantage in view, is especially concerned.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"glossary","lemma":"ἀντιταλαντεύουσα γνῶσις","severity":"info","text":"The phrase 'balancing knowledge' likely refers to the divine capacity to weigh justice and mercy equally, a concept rooted in Stoic and Platonic ideas of cosmic balance.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"glossary","lemma":"λόγος","severity":"info","text":"Here λόγος denotes both the divine Word (Logos) and rational discourse, a key term in Clement's theology where Christ is the Logos who instructs and saves.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"background","lemma":"συμβουλευτικὸν / ἐγκωμιαστικὸν","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts classical rhetorical categories: deliberative (συμβουλευτικόν) and epideictic (ἐγκωμιαστικόν) oratory, applying them to the Logos' pedagogical methods of exhortation and praise.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"","severity":"info","text":"The passage transitions from a summary of divine justice to a systematic analysis of the Logos' dual role: restraining through threats and saving through exhortation, using rhetorical theory.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"οὐχ ὑπακούεις τῷ θεῷ","severity":"info","text":"The phrase 'you do not obey God' echoes Old Testament prophetic rebukes (e.g., Jeremiah 2:19) and reflects Clement's moral exhortation, though no direct citation is given.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"caution","kind":"caution","basis":"text","lemma":"ἀντιταλαντεύουσα","severity":"caution","text":"The hapax legomenon ἀντιταλαντεύουσα is uncertain; it may mean 'counterbalancing' or 'weighing in turn,' but the exact nuance is debated.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The phrase 'ἀντιταλαντεύουσα γνῶσις' is ambiguous: it could mean knowledge that balances opposites or knowledge that is itself balanced.

With consolation he soothes the sins, diminishing desire while at the same time instilling hope for salvation. For he says through Ezekiel: If you turn from your whole heart and say, Father, I will hear you as a holy people. And again he says: Come to me, all who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest, and the things after these, which the Lord speaks in person. Most clearly he calls to goodness through Solomon, saying: Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, and the mortal who has found prudence. For the good is found by the one who seeks it and is wont to be seen by the one who finds it. Indeed, also through Jeremiah he explains prudence: We are blessed, Israel, he says, because what is pleasing to God is known to us, and it is known through the Word, through which we are blessed and prudent. For prudence is knowledge, as is indicated through the same prophet saying: Hear, Israel, the commandments of life; give ear to know prudence. Through Moses he further promises a gift because of the existing philanthropy to those hastening toward salvation. For he says: And I will lead you into the good land, which the Lord swore to your fathers; and also, I will lead you into the holy mountain and gladden you, he says through Isaiah.

But since some misrepresent the blessed as having no reality either in itself or as provided to another, misunderstanding its philanthropy, it is for these and for those who still do not attach justice to the good that this discourse of ours has been requested. For it followed that we should assert that the admonitory and reproachful form of pedagogy is suitable for human beings, since they say all human beings are base; wise is God alone, from whom wisdom comes, and perfect alone, therefore also alone praiseworthy. But I do not avail myself of this argument; rather I say that praise or blame, or something resembling praise and especially blame, are the most necessary remedies for human beings. Now the incurable, like iron by fire, hammer, and anvil—that is, by threat, reproof, and rebuke—are driven; those who attend to faith itself, as if self-taught and voluntary, grow by praise; for a virtue praised grows like a tree.

Long ago, then, through Moses the Word was educating, and afterwards also through the prophets; and Moses is also a prophet; for the law is a pedagogy for unruly children.

The divine pedagogue is trustworthy, adorned with the three finest qualities: knowledge, goodwill, and frankness. With knowledge because he is the wisdom of the father, all wisdom is from the Lord and with him forever. With frankness because he is God and creator, for all things came to be through him and without him nothing came to be. With goodwill because he alone offered himself as a sacrifice for us, for the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep, and indeed he laid it down. Goodwill is nothing other than a wish for good toward the neighbor, for his own sake. That the pedagogue employs severity and kindness in proportion to the father’s disposition. These things having now been accomplished, it would follow that our pedagogue Jesus should outline for us the true life and educate the human being in Christ.

We must therefore acknowledge the greatest gratitude to him. For do we not say that the rational animal—I mean man—must contemplate the divine? And I say that he must also contemplate human nature and live as truth directs, loving exceedingly both the Pedagogue himself and his commandments, since they are mutually fitting and harmonious; in accordance with which image we too must harmonize ourselves to the Pedagogue, making our word consonant with our deeds, so as truly to live. For just as right action occurs according to right reason, so conversely error occurs contrary to reason. Everything contrary to right reason is error. Indeed, the philosophers deem it proper to define the most generic passions somewhat as follows: desire is appetite disobedient to reason, fear is aversion disobedient to reason, pleasure is an elation of the soul disobedient to reason, and grief is a contraction of the soul disobedient to reason. If, then, disobedience to reason is generative of sin, how is it not of necessity that obedience to reason—which we call faith—will be productive of what is called duty?

For instance, when the first man sinned and disobeyed God, he was likened, it is said, to the beasts. The man who errs against reason, being reasonably considered irrational, is compared to beasts. Hence Wisdom also says: the pleasure-lover and the adulterer is a horse for mounting, likened to an irrational beast, and therefore it adds: he neighs beneath every rider. No longer does the man speak, it says; for he who sins against reason is no longer rational, but an irrational beast, given over to desires, upon whom all pleasures sit. What is done rightly according to obedience to reason the Stoic children call fitting and proper. Now the proper is fitting, and obedience is founded on commandments; these, being the same as the precepts, have truth as their aim, and guide toward the ultimate object of desire, which is conceived as the end; and the end is the eternal rest in God of piety, and the beginning of eternity is our end. The achievement of piety, however, accomplishes the proper through works; hence fittingly the proper concerns actions, not words; and action is the activity of the Christian’s rational soul, performed through the body, which is innate and a fellow combatant, according to a noble judgment and desire for truth; and the proper is a consequence in life, a single will with God and Christ, accomplished in eternal life.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"ἁμάρτημα","severity":"info","text":"Clement etymologizes ἁμάρτημα (sin) as derived from διαμαρτία τοῦ λόγου (failure of reason), linking moral error to irrationality.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"παρωμοιώθη τοῖς κτήνεσιν","severity":"info","text":"Clement alludes to the LXX of Psalm 48:21 (MT 49:21) or a similar wisdom saying, where the sinner is likened to beasts; the phrase echoes the fall narrative in Genesis 3.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"Στωϊκῶν παῖδες","severity":"info","text":"Clement draws on Stoic terminology: καθῆκον (proper) and προσῆκον (fitting) are technical terms from Stoic ethics, here adapted to Christian moral instruction.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Τὸ μὲν οὖν καθῆκον ... παιδαγωγοῦσιν","severity":"info","text":"Clement transitions from defining sin as irrationality to outlining the positive role of commandments and precepts in guiding toward the ultimate end (τέλος).","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"text","lemma":"ἡ μὲν πρᾶξις ... ἐκτελουμένη","severity":"info","text":"Clement’s definition of Christian action as rational soul activity through the body anticipates later Eastern Christian anthropology, especially in Maximus the Confessor.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The phrase 'ἵππος εἰς ὀχείαν' may be a direct quotation from a lost wisdom text or Clement’s own paraphrase; the source is not identified.","The reference to 'παντὸς ὑποκάτω ἐπικαθημένου χρεμετίζει' is unclear; it may be a proverbial expression or a citation from a non-canonical work."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":85,"ref":"p85","source":"καὶ γὰρ ὁ βίος ὁ Χριστιανῶν, ὃν παιδαγωγούμεθα νῦν, σύστημά τί ἐστι λογικῶν πράξεων, τουτέστιν τῶν ὑπὸ τοῦ λόγου διδασκομένων ἀδιάπτωτος ἐνέργεια, ἣν δὴ πίστιν κεκλήκαμεν.

For truly, for the many, most things are for the sake of dinner. For they have not learned that God prepared for his creation, I mean for man, food and drink for the sake of preservation, not for pleasure; since bodies are not naturally benefited by the extravagance of foods; on the contrary, those who use the cheapest foods are stronger, healthier, and more noble, as servants compared to masters and farmers compared to landowners; and not only more robust, but also more prudent, as philosophers compared to the wealthy; for they have not clogged their mind with foods nor deceived it with pleasures. Love, however, is truly a heavenly food, a rational feast: It endures all, it bears all, it hopes all; love never falls. Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God. But the most grievous of all falls is for the unfallen love to be cast down from above, from the heavens, onto the sauces. And do you think I consider dinner to be that which is being abolished? For if, he says, I distribute my possessions but do not have love, I am nothing. The whole law and the Word depend on this love; and if you love the Lord your God and your neighbor, this heavenly banquet is in the heavens, while the earthly one is called dinner, as has been shown from Scripture, for dinner occurs because of love, but dinner is not love, but a token of communal goodwill and liberality.

Love, then, is a pure thing worthy of God, and its work is sharing. The care of education is love, wisdom says, and love is the observance of its laws. These festivities have some spark of love from the common food, accustomed to lead to eternal food. Love, then, is not a dinner, but the entertainment of love should be attached. Let your sons, whom you have loved, learn, O Lord, that it is not the produce of fruits that nourishes man, but your word preserves those who trust in you; for the righteous will not live by bread alone. But let the dinner be simple and light for us, suitable for wakefulness, unmixed with various qualities, not undisciplined in this either; for good child-rearing is self-sufficiency, having as a rich provision for communion in love, self-sufficiency, which, presiding over food in a just quantity measured for salvation, governs the body and distributes something from itself to neighbors, while a diet that overflows self-sufficiency harms man, making the soul sluggish and the body prone to disease. Indeed, the pleasures of seasoning incur unbearable reproaches: gluttony, greed, daintiness, insatiability, voracity.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ βρῶσις καὶ πόσις","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts Rom 14:17, where Paul contrasts the kingdom of God with food and drink, to introduce a spiritual meal.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"ἀγάπη","severity":"info","text":"Here ἀγάπη denotes both Christian love and the communal meal (agape feast), which Clement distinguishes from ordinary dinner.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"κουροτρόφος αὐτάρκεια","severity":"info","text":"Clement personifies self-sufficiency as a 'child-rearer,' a Stoic virtue adapted to Christian asceticism, promoting moderate diet.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Ἀλλὰ γὰρ","severity":"info","text":"The phrase marks a turn from spiritual exegesis to practical dietary rules, typical of Clement's pedagogical method.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"text","lemma":"οὐ γὰρ ἐπ' ἄρτῳ ζήσεται ὁ δίκαιος","severity":"info","text":"Clement echoes Ps.-Phocylides 9, a Hellenistic Jewish maxim, to reinforce spiritual over material sustenance.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"caution","kind":"caution","basis":"text","lemma":"ἡ δ' ἑστίασις ἀγάπης ἠρτήσθω","severity":"caution","text":"The syntax is ambiguous: ἠρτήσθω may mean 'let it be attached' or 'let it be suspended'; the translation follows the former.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The phrase 'ἡ δ' ἑστίασις ἀγάπης ἠρτήσθω' is ambiguous: 'ἠρτήσθω' could mean 'let it be attached' (as in the translation) or 'let it be suspended' (i.e., dependent on love).","The referent of 'αὗται' in 'Αἱ δὲ εὐφροσύναι αὗται' is unclear: it may refer to the preceding spiritual joys or to the festivities just mentioned."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":92,"ref":"p92","source":"Μυῖαι τούτοις οἰκεῖαι τοῖς ὀνόμασιν καὶ γαλαῖ κόλακές τε καὶ μονομάχαι καὶ τὰ ἄγρια τῶν παρασίτων φῦλα, γαστρὸς ἡδονῆς οἳ μὲν τὸν λόγον, οἳ δὲ τὴν φιλίαν, οἳ δὲ τὸ ζῆν ἀποδόμενοι, ἐπὶ γαστέρας ἕρποντες, θηρία ἀνδρείκελα, κατ' εἰκόνα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν τοῦ λίχνου θηρίου.

Here it must be recalled also concerning the so-called meat offered to idols, how it is commanded that one must abstain from these.

See therefore that this authority of yours does not become a stumbling block to the weak.

But if we were to exhort some of our fellow diners to virtue, we must all the more abstain from these gluttonous foods, presenting ourselves as a clear example of virtue, as we ourselves have Christ. For if any such food scandalizes the brother, I will not eat it, he says, for all time, so that I may not scandalize my brother, gaining the man through a little self-control. Do we not have the authority to eat and drink? And we have recognized the truth, he says, that there is no idol in the world, but only one true God of ours, from whom all things come, and one Lord Jesus. But the brother who is weak, for whom Christ died, perishes, he says, by your knowledge. Those who wound the conscience of weak brothers sin against Christ. Thus the apostle, being cautious about us, distinguishes the meals, saying not to mix with them, if a so-called brother is found to be a fornicator or adulterer or idolater, not even to eat with him, either the word or the dish, suspecting the defilement from that, just as with the tables of demons. It is good, then, not to eat meat nor to drink wine, as he himself admits and the followers of Pythagoras; for this is more characteristic of beasts, and the exhalation from them, being more turbid, darkens the soul. But if someone partakes of these, he does not sin, only let him partake temperately, not clinging to them nor being dependent on them nor gulping down the dish; for a voice will sound to him, saying, do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"εἰ γάρ τι τῶν τοιούτων βρωμάτων σκανδαλίζει τὸν ἀδελφόν, οὐ μὴ φάγω, φησίν, τοῦτο εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts a Pauline principle of avoiding scandal to the brother (cf. 1 Cor 8:13, 10:32).

And is it not useless to rise up from the couches, all but throwing one’s face into the pots, peeping out from the couch as from a nest—that oft-repeated saying—in order to catch the wandering steam through inhalation? And is it not irrational to smear one’s hands with seasonings or to keep reaching for the food without tasting, but snatching it like beasts, gorging themselves immoderately and indecorously? For one can see such persons likened to swine or dogs by their voracity rather than to men, hurrying to stuff themselves, so that both jaws are swollen at once as the vessels around the face are distended, and sweat pours over them as they are gripped by insatiability and pant from intemperance, the food being thrust with unsocial urgency into the belly, as if storing the victuals for a journey, not for digestion. In every case excess is an evil, but it is especially exposed in matters of food. For opsophagia is nothing other than excess in the use of relish, and laimargia is madness concerning the throat, and gastrimargia is intemperance regarding food, as indeed the name implies—madness concerning the belly, since margos means mad. Therefore the apostle, checking those who practice injustice at a feast, says: For each one anticipates his own dinner in eating, and one hungers, another gets drunk.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"glossary","lemma":"ὀψοφαγία","severity":"info","text":"Opsophagia denotes a specific excess in the use of relish (ὄψον), often implying a greedy or dainty habit.

The natural and sober drink necessary for the thirsty is water. This, flowing down from the sheer rock, the Lord supplied to the ancient Hebrews as a solitary drink of temperance, and those still wandering needed especially to be sober. Then the holy vine sprouted the prophetic grape. This is a sign to those educated into rest from wandering: the great grape, the Word pressed for us, the blood of the grape, since the Word wished to be mixed with water, just as his blood is mixed for salvation. The blood of the Lord is twofold: one is his fleshly blood, by which we have been redeemed from corruption, and the other is spiritual, that is, that by which we have been anointed. And this is to drink the blood of Jesus, to partake of the Lord's incorruption; the power of the Word is spirit, as blood is of flesh. Proportionally, then, wine is mixed with water, and spirit with the human being; and the mixture feasts one for faith, and the spirit leads to incorruption; and the mixture of both drink and Word is called eucharist, a praised and beautiful grace, partakers of which by faith are sanctified in both body and soul, as the divine mixture mystically blends the human being with the spirit and Word of the Father's will.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"Πῶς τῷ ποτῷ προσενεκτέον","severity":"info","text":"The heading 'How one should approach drinking' marks a new section in Clement's pedagogical regimen, shifting from food to drink.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Τιμοθέῳ ὑδροποτοῦντι, διὰ τὸν στόμαχόν σου","severity":"info","text":"Clement alludes to 1 Timothy 5:23 (Vulgate: 'Noli adhuc aquam bibere, sed vino modico utere stomachi causa'), adapting the Pauline advice to Timothy's stomach ailment.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"ἡ ἄμπελος ἡ ἁγία τὸν βότρυν ἐβλάστησεν τὸν προφητικόν","severity":"info","text":"The 'holy vine' and 'prophetic grape' evoke the Old Testament image of Israel as a vine (e.g., Hosea 9:10) and the eschatological grape of Numbers 13:23, reinterpreted by Clement as the Logos.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Διττὸν δὲ τὸ αἷμα τοῦ κυρίου","severity":"info","text":"Clement introduces a twofold division of Christ's blood—fleshly and spiritual—structuring the passage as a typological exposition of the Eucharist.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"text","lemma":"εὐχαριστία κέκληται","severity":"info","text":"Clement's identification of the mixed drink and Word as 'eucharist' is an early instance of the term applied to the liturgical meal, anticipating later sacramental theology.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"parallel","kind":"parallel","basis":"text","lemma":"τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ σωτηρίᾳ κίρναται","severity":"info","text":"The mixing of wine with water parallels the mixing of Christ's blood with salvation, a metaphor also found in Irenaeus (Adv.

For the desires of the older men are no longer so greatly storm-tossed concerning the shipwrecks of drunkenness; they are, as it were, moored by the anchors of reason and time, and bear more easily the squall of desires that rages from drunkenness, and it is perhaps even permissible for them to jest a little at feasts. But even for these, let there be a limit to drinking, up to the point where they keep their reasoning unshaken, their memory active, and their body unmoved and unshaken by wine; those skilled in these matters call this state \"tipsy.\" It is good, then, to stop beforehand because of the slippery slope. And a certain Artorius, in his work On Longevity—for I recall—thinks that one should only apply wine to moisten the food, so that we may obtain a longer life. It is fitting, therefore, that wine be taken by some as a part of treatment for health alone, and by others for relaxation and cheerfulness. For wine first makes the drinker more gracious to himself than before, more gentle to his fellow drinkers, milder to his servants, and more agreeable to his friends; but when abused, it changes to insolence. For being warm and having pleasant flavors, when blended harmoniously it dissolves the sticky residues with its heat, and tempers the sharp and base humors with its fragrances.

For both are creations of God, and in this way the mixture of both, water and wine, contributes to health, since life consists of the necessary and the useful. To the necessary, water, one must add as much as possible of the useful. With immoderate wine, the tongue is hindered, the lips become slack, the eyes are distorted, as if the vision were swimming from the abundance of moisture, and forced to be deceived, they think everything revolves in a circle, and they cannot count distant things as they are alone. \"And indeed I seem to see two suns,\" said the Theban elder when drunk. For the vision, moved by the heat of the wine, more frequently imagines the substance as multiple of the one. It makes no difference whether the vision moves or the object seen; for the same thing has happened to the vision from both, being unable to attain an accurate grasp of the underlying object due to the disturbance. And the feet are carried away as by a current, and hiccups, vomiting, and delirium burst in. For every man intoxicated, according to the tragedy, is inferior to anger, empty of mind, and loves to pour out much tongue in vain, hearing unwillingly what he willingly spoke badly.

But the Word will never be able to depart from its own concerns, not even when we sleep; for it must be summoned even to sleep. For perfect wisdom, being knowledge of divine and human things, embracing the whole, according to that by which it oversees the human flock, becomes an art concerning life, and with this it is present throughout our entire life, always performing its own work, namely, good living. But the wretches who drive away temperance from feasting consider a blessed life to be the disorder of symposia, whose life is nothing but revelry, debauchery, baths, unmixed wine, chamber pots, idleness, and drinking. Indeed, one can see some of them half-drunk, staggering, wearing garlands around their necks like wine jars, pouring unmixed wine to one another under the name of friendship, while others, full of debauchery, squalid, pale, their faces livid, and still on yesterday's drunkenness, again draw up another drunkenness from morning on.

This life—if life it must be called—being idle, stirred up about pleasures, and frantic over wine-guzzling, divine wisdom, viewing it with suspicion, commands her own children: \"Do not be a wine-drinker, nor stretch yourself out at banquets, at purchases of meats; for every drunkard and fornicator will become poor and will wear torn garments; every sleepyhead.\" For every sleepyhead is one not awake to wisdom, but baptized into sleep by drunkenness. And \"torn garments,\" it says, the wine-bibber will wear; he will be ashamed of his drunkenness because of those who observe him. For the torn places of the fleshly fabric, perforated by pleasures of the senses, are the openings of the sinner, through which shame from within the soul is observed—the sin, on account of which the fabric, torn away on all sides, rotting away into many desires, separated from salvation, will not easily be saved. To this it most admonishingly adds: \"For whom woe? For whom tumult? For whom judgment? For whom unpleasant talk? For whom vain ruins?\" See the whole wine-lover torn, who overlooks the Word itself, and has surrendered himself to drunkenness; how many things Scripture has threatened him with!

Here he declares the lover of wine already dead in reason, through the livid eyes, which is a sign that appears on the dead, announcing to him death in the Lord; for forgetfulness of things that contribute to true life inclines toward corruption. Naturally, then, the Pedagogue most firmly forbids it, caring for our salvation: Do not drink wine to intoxication. Why, you will ask? Because, he says, your mouth will then speak crookedly, and you will lie as if in the heart of the sea and like a helmsman in a great storm. Hence even poetry, drawing benefit, says: Wine, which has might equal to fire, when it enters men, swells like the Libyan sea under the north or south wind, and reveals all hidden things, causing false speech; wine is a slip for the drunken, wine is a deceiver of the soul, and so on. Do you see the danger of shipwreck? The heart is washed over by heavy drinking, and the multitude of wine-bibbing he likened to the threat of a sea, in which the body, sunk like a ship, has gone down into the depth of disorder, buried by the triple waves of wine, while the helmsman, the human mind, is tossed by the surge, drunkenness prevailing, and, seafaring, grows dizzy in the darkness of the squall, having missed the harbor of truth, until, falling upon hidden rocks, it runs itself aground on pleasures and destroys itself.

Therefore, Scripture mystically named wine the symbol of holy blood, and, exposing the intemperate stale-drinking from wine, it says wine is licentious and drunkenness insolent. So then, right reason approves drinking in winter because of the cold, up to the point of not shivering, for those who are prone to shiver, and at other times for the sake of treating the internal organs. For just as with food one should use it to the point of not being hungry, so also with drink one should use it to the point of not being thirsty, carefully guarding against the slip; for the insinuation of wine is treacherous. In this way our soul would be pure, dry, and luminous, for a dry soul is wisest and best. And this soul is also contemplative, and it is not moistened by the exhalations from wine, being corporealized like a cloud. Therefore, one should not be overly curious about Chian wine, if it is absent, nor about Ariusian wine, when it is not at hand. For thirst is an affection of some deficiency and seeks the appropriate remedy for replenishment, not a puffed-up drink. But the overseas wine-hunts are due to a flabby appetite from intemperance, the soul being deranged even before drunkenness concerning its desires.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"glossary","lemma":"τὸ κρᾶμα τοῦ νόμου τοῦ παλαιοῦ καὶ τοῦ λόγου τοῦ νέου","severity":"info","text":"Clement uses κρᾶμα (mixture) to allegorize the union of Old Law and New Word, a typological reading of wine as a symbol of salvation history.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"αἵματος ἁγίου οἶνον","severity":"info","text":"The phrase echoes eucharistic language (cf.

Anger, it is said, is a great thing, a drunken woman, like the wrath of God, a woman wine-fogged. Why? Because she does not conceal her unseemliness. For a woman is quickly drawn into disorder, if she only gives her inclination to pleasures. And we have not forbidden drinking from alabastra; but we cut off the practice of drinking only from these as ostentatious, advising the use of whatever is at hand without attachment, checking their desires from slipping far from above.

Labor of sleeplessness, it says, and cholera and colic accompany an insatiable man. For this reason indeed the drunkenness of Noah has been recorded, so that we may guard against drunkenness as much as possible, having the image of the transgression visible and written, through which those who covered the shame of drunkenness are blessed by the Lord.

Away, then, with Therikleian cups, Antigonidean kantharoi, labronii, lepastae, and the countless types of drinking vessels, together with coolers and wine-jugs. For gold and silver, both privately and publicly, are an enviable possession, exceeding need, rare to acquire, difficult to keep, and unsuitable for use. Moreover, the vain ostentation of engravers on glass, which teaches one both to fear and to drink, since it is more readily broken through art, must be excluded from our good order. Silver couches, basins, saucers, small plates, and bowls, and in addition to these, vessels of silver and gold, some for the service of food, others for certain other needs which I am ashamed even to mention, as well as tripods fashioned from easily split cedar, citron wood, ebony, and ivory, couches with silver feet and inlaid with ivory, embroidered with gold, and adorned with the shell of the tortoise, bed-curtains, coverlets of purple and of other difficultly obtained colors—all these are proofs of tasteless luxury, acquisitions partaking of envy and indolence, and are to be dismissed entirely, as they contain nothing worthy of serious attention.

To clarify this more precisely, he added: \"It remains that even those who have wives should be as if they do not have them, and those who buy should be as if they do not possess them.\" If these things apply to marriage, concerning which God says \"be fruitful,\" how do you suppose that vulgar ostentation is to be banished by the authority of the Lord? Therefore also: \"Sell your possessions,\" says the Lord, \"and give to the poor, and come follow me.\" Follow God naked of pretension, naked of perishable pomp, possessing only your own, the good that cannot be taken away: faith in God, confession of the one who suffered, beneficence toward men—the most precious possession. I also accept Plato, who plainly legislates that one should neither practice having wealth in silver nor in gold, nor even a useless vessel which, without necessary use, is not moderate, so that the same thing might be suitable for many purposes, and the accumulation of possessions be abolished. Excellently, then, the divine Scripture somewhere says, addressing the self-loving and pretentious: \"Where are the rulers of the nations and those who lord over the beasts on the earth, those who mock the birds of the air, those who hoard silver and gold, in which men trusted, and there is no end to their acquisition, those who work and worry over their silver and gold?

I would have prayed that for them, throughout their whole life, gold be judged worthy of being considered rubbish. But now the acropolis of evil, love of money, has been discovered, which the apostle says is the root of all evils, for which some, grasping after it, have strayed from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains. The best wealth is poverty of desires and true magnanimity, not being magnanimous on account of wealth, but despising it. To boast over vessels is utterly shameful; for it is no longer right to be zealous about those things which anyone who wishes can buy from the market.

Let revelry be far from our rational feasting, and also the vain all-night vigils that swell with drunkenness. For revelry is a drunken, frantic flute, an improviser of erotic distress; and love and drunkenness, the irrational passions, are banished far from our chorus. All-night carousing over drink is a kind of drunken revelry, summoning intoxication and provoking intercourse, a shameless boldness. Those who occupy themselves with flutes, psalteries, choruses, dances, Egyptian rattles, and such idle, disorderly, unseemly, and utterly uneducated disturbances would be resounding with cymbals and drums and surrounded by the instruments of deception. For such a symposium becomes, in my opinion, a veritable theater of drunkenness. The apostle bids us to put away the works of darkness and don the armor of light, walking decorously as in the day, not devoting ourselves to revels and drunkenness, nor to beds and licentiousness. Let the shepherd's pipe be assigned to shepherds, and the flute to superstitious men hastening to idolatry. For truly these instruments are to be dismissed from a sober symposium, being more suitable for beasts than for men, and for the more irrational of men. For we have learned that deer are charmed by pipes and are led into traps by hunters through the melody, and to mares being mated a kind of wedding hymn is played on the flute—musicians call this the \"horse-maddening\" tune.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"κῶμος","severity":"info","text":"Clement contrasts the κῶμος (revelry) with the ideal Christian symposium, associating it with drunkenness and erotic distress.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"glossary","lemma":"παννυχίδες","severity":"info","text":"παννυχίδες (all-night vigils) here refers to pagan nocturnal festivals, not Christian vigils, which Clement elsewhere endorses.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"ἀπόστολος","severity":"info","text":"The apostle (Paul) is cited: 'put away the works of darkness and don the armor of light'—a paraphrase of Romans 13:12 or Ephesians 5:11, though not a direct quotation.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"external","lemma":"ἱππόθορον","severity":"info","text":"ἱππόθορον (horse-maddening tune) is a technical term in ancient Greek music for a flute melody used to excite mares during mating, noted by Aristoxenus and others.","cites":[],"named_sources":["Aristoxenus Harmonic Elements"],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"","severity":"info","text":"The passage moves from a prohibition of revelry to a critique of musical instruments, then to a scriptural warrant, and ends with zoological examples to reinforce the irrationality of such music.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"caution","kind":"caution","basis":"text","lemma":"Αἰγυπτίων","severity":"caution","text":"Clement's reference to 'Egyptian rattles' (κροτάλοις Αἰγυπτίων) may reflect a polemical stereotype; the Coptic text does not specify which instruments are meant.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The phrase 'τὰ ἔργα τοῦ σκότους' (works of darkness) is ambiguous: it may refer to pagan practices or to moral vices generally; the reading taken is a Pauline allusion."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":122,"ref":"p122","source":"Πᾶσαν δὲ ἁπαξαπλῶς ἀνελεύθερον ὄψιν τε καὶ ἀκοὴν καὶ συνελόντι φάναι αἴσθησιν ἀκρασίας αἰσχράν, τὴν ὡς ἀληθῶς ἀναισθησίαν, ἐκκοπτέον εὖ μάλα, τὴν ἐν ὄμμασιν καὶ ἐν ὠσὶν γαργαλίζουσαν καὶ ἀποθηλύνουσαν ἡδονὴν εὐλαβουμένους· μελῶν γάρ τοι κατεαγότων καὶ ῥυθμῶν γοερῶν τῆς μούσης τῆς Καρικῆς αἱ ποικίλαι φαρμακεῖαι διαφθείρουσιν τοὺς τρόπους ἀκολάστῳ καὶ κακοτέχνῳ μουσικῇ εἰς πάθος ὑποσύρουσαι.

And this word adapts and conforms itself to occasions, persons, and places; now it is sympotic. For the apostle adds again: \"Teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs in grace, singing in your heart to God; and whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and his Father.\" This is our grateful revel, and if you wish to sing and play to the cithara or lyre, there is no blame; you will imitate the righteous Hebrew king who was grateful to God.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"Τυρρηνοί","severity":"info","text":"The Tyrrhenians (Etruscans) are listed among peoples using specific instruments in war, a common ethnographic trope in Greek literature.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Ὁ γὰρ λόγος ὁ τοῦ κυρίου ἐνοικείτω ἐν ὑμῖν πλουσίως","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts a Pauline phrase; cf.

We must expel from our polity imitators of ridiculous men, or rather of laughable passions. For since all words flow from thought and character, it is impossible to utter ridiculous words without being borne from a ridiculous character.

If, then, we must banish jesters from our polity, much more must we not permit ourselves to play the jester.

To practice these things is mockery, since even the speech of the ridiculous is not worthy of hearing, accustoming through the words themselves to shameful deeds. One must be witty, not a buffoon. But even laughter itself must be curbed. For indeed, when it is conducted in the proper manner, it shows decorum, but when it proceeds otherwise, it indicates licentiousness. Simply put, whatever is natural to humans must not be abolished from them, but rather appropriate measure and occasion must be imposed upon them. For just because man is a laughing animal, he should not laugh at everything, just as a horse, being a neighing animal, does not neigh at everything. Rather, as rational animals, we must attune ourselves temperately, relaxing the severity of our earnestness and the excessive tension harmoniously, not dissolving it discordantly. For the orderly relaxation of the face, as of an instrument, in accordance with harmony is called a smile—a diffusion thus reflected in the face—and is the laughter of the temperate.

For one must not always laugh—that is immoderate—nor in the presence of elders or others worthy of respect, unless they themselves say something to cheer us; nor should one laugh at just anyone, nor in every place, nor at everything, nor on every occasion. For laughter is especially a slippery slope to slander for youths and women. And appearing awe-inspiring is, from afar, a deterrent to those who make advances; for dignity can repel assaults of licentiousness even by mere appearance.

We must entirely abstain from foul language ourselves and silence those who use it, both by a sharper look and by turning away the face and by the so-called sneer, and often also by a harsher word.

With regard to hearing shameful things and seeing things similarly disposed, the divine pedagogue, in the same way as with children who wrestle, so that their ears might not be broken, places temperate words around them like ear-guards, so that the blow of fornication cannot reach to break the soul; and he directs the eyes toward the contemplation of beautiful things, saying it is better to slip with the feet than with the eyes.

For he is always powerful in cutting out the roots of sins, the \"you shall not commit adultery\" through the \"you shall not desire\"; for adultery is the fruit of desire, the root being evil. Similarly, then, in this case the tutor has denounced the fearless use of names, cutting out the fearless mingling with licentiousness. For disorder in names produces practice in disorder even in deeds, while being temperate in speech is training to endure lust. We have determined by a deeper argument that neither in names nor even in the parts of speech concerning intercourse and in the conjugal union, for which the names not common in ordinary usage are established, is the appellation of what is truly shameful assigned; for neither the knee nor the shin are these parts, nor indeed are the names for them and the activity through them shameful; but the genitals are also parts of a human being, deemed worthy of modesty, not of shame; shameful is their unlawful activity, worthy of disgrace and reproach and therefore of punishment; for only what is truly shameful is vice and the deeds performed according to it. Analogous to these, foul speech would reasonably be called the discourse about the works of vice; for example, speaking about adultery or pederasty and the like. Indeed, one must also silence idle chatter. For from much speaking, it says, you will not escape sin; therefore, talkativeness will pay the penalty; for one can be found wise by being silent, and one can be hated from much talking. Already the chatterer himself is wearisome to himself; for by excessive speech he abhors his own soul.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"διαβάλλων πρὸς τὴν ἀκολασίαν","severity":"info","text":"The participle διαβάλλων is causal: the tutor denounces fearless speech because it leads to licentiousness.

Away, then, away from us also jesting, which is the beginning of insolence, from which strifes and quarrels and enmities swell up. Insolence we have said is the servant of drunkenness. Man is judged not only by his deeds, but also by his words. In a banquet, it is said, do not reprove your neighbor, and do not speak a word of reproach to him. For even though it is most strictly commanded to associate with holy men, to mock a holy man is a sin; for from the mouth of fools, says Scripture, comes a staff of insolence, calling the staff a ladder of insolence, on which insolence leans and rests. Hence I admire the apostle also here exhorting us not to utter even witty or unbecoming words. For if the gatherings for feasts are for the sake of love, and the end of the banquet is goodwill towards those present, and eating and drinking are accompaniments of love, how should we not conduct ourselves rationally? Nor should we be at a loss because of love. For if we come together to increase mutual good will, how do we stir up enmity by jesting? It is better to be silent than to contradict those who offer sin through ignorance. Truly blessed is the man who has not slipped in his speech and has not been stung by the pain of sin, either repenting of what he has said in sin or having spoken without causing anyone pain.

To rise before the many and to withdraw from the symposium becomingly is the mark of a temperate man: For, he says, at the time of rising, do not bring up the rear and run off to your house. And the twelve, having called together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not pleasing for us to leave the word of God and serve tables. If they guarded against this, much more did they flee gluttony. And these same apostles, writing to the brethren in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, said: It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to impose no further burden upon you beyond the necessary things: to abstain from idolothytes, from blood, from things strangled, and from fornication, from which, keeping yourselves, you will do well.

For both becoming effeminate and behaving insolently are discordant with reason. Elders, looking to the young as to children, might very rarely, perhaps, even jest with them, mocking them in a way that will discipline their decorum. For instance, it is possible to jest with the bashful and silent one in this manner: \"My son—I mean the one who is silent—never stops talking.\" For such a jest intensifies the young man's modesty, gracefully indicating the good qualities that belong to him through the accusation of faults that do not belong to him. For this too is a didactic device, confirming what is present through what is absent. For instance, something similar is implied by one who says that the water-drinker and temperate man is drunk and intoxicated. But if there are some who are fond of jesting, we must be silent and dismiss superfluous words, just as we dismiss full cups. For such play is dangerous; the mouth of a rash man is near to ruin. You will not admit vain talk, nor will you consent to become an unjust witness together with an unjust man, neither for slanders nor for blasphemies, nor even for malicious acts. And I think I would impose a measure of speech even on the temperate, to whom it is permitted to speak, namely the one who argues in reply. For silence is the virtue of women, but a safe honor for the young.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"οἱ οἰνωμένοι","severity":"info","text":"The participle 'οἱ οἰνωμένοι' (those who are drunk) is a perfect middle/passive form of 'οἰνόω', meaning 'to be intoxicated with wine'.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"glossary","lemma":"παιδαγωγήσει","severity":"info","text":"The verb 'παιδαγωγήσει' (will discipline) is a key term in Clement's work, referring to the role of the 'Paedagogus' as a guide for Christian conduct.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"background","lemma":"ὁ ὑδροπότην","severity":"info","text":"The term 'ὑδροπότην' (water-drinker) refers to someone who abstains from wine, a practice associated with temperance and sometimes with early Christian asceticism.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Σιγὴ μὲν γὰρ ἀρετὴ γυναικῶν ἐστιν","severity":"info","text":"This sentence concludes the passage with a contrast: silence is a virtue for women but a safe honor for the young, reinforcing Clement's hierarchical view of virtues.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"background","lemma":"παιδαγωγήσει","severity":"info","text":"Clement's concept of 'paedagogus' as a moral disciplinarian influenced later Christian educational and monastic traditions, emphasizing moderation and decorum.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"caution","kind":"caution","basis":"text","lemma":"οὐκ οἶδ' ὅπως","severity":"caution","text":"The phrase 'οὐκ οἶδ' ὅπως' (somehow) indicates uncertainty in the text about the mechanism of the transition from laughter to tears, reflecting a rhetorical rather than empirical claim.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The phrase 'οὐκ οἶδ' ὅπως' leaves the causal link between drunken laughter and tears ambiguous; the reading taken is that it is a rhetorical observation of a common phenomenon.","The identity of 'τὸν ἀντιδιαλεγόμενον' (the one who argues in reply) is unclear; it may refer to a specific interlocutor or be a generic example."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":135,"ref":"p135","source":"λόγος δὲ ἀγαθὸν ἡλικίας δεδοκιμασμένης.

Speak, elder, at a symposium, for it is fitting for you; but speak without hindrance and with the precision of knowledge. Young man, wisdom also permits you to speak, if there is need of you, and when asked twice with difficulty, summarize your speech in few words. Both of those who converse should measure their utterance with moderation; for a loud voice is most mad, and speaking inaudibly to those nearby is senseless, for they will not hear. The former is a sign of ignobility, the latter of arrogance. Let contentiousness for the sake of empty victory in words be absent, since our goal is tranquility, and this indeed is \"peace to you.\" Do not answer a word before you have heard. But the affected voice is effeminate, while a measured voice is temperate, restraining one's utterance in magnitude, length, speed, and quantity. For one should never speak at length, nor use many words, nor babble, nor speak hastily and in a rush. For even the voice itself, so to speak, must be given a share of justice, and those who shout out of season and those who cry out must be silenced.

Whistling, hissing, and the provocative sounds made with the fingers by servants, being irrational signals, are to be avoided by rational people. One must also refrain from continuous spitting and from clearing the throat too violently. Nor should one blow one's nose during a drink; for one must somehow take thought for one's fellow banqueters, lest they be repelled by nausea at such disorderliness, which is an accuser of intemperance; for the manger and the dung-heap are not the same for cattle and asses; and indeed many blow their noses and spit and dine at the same time. If a sneeze occurs to someone, as also a belch, one should not blast the neighbors with the noise, thereby testifying to one's own lack of education; but the belch should be dismissed, quietly, with the exhaled air shaped decorously by the mouth, not drawn out and gaping like tragic masks. The disturbing element of a sneeze should be removed by gently checking the breaths; for in this way one may most becomingly quench the sudden threat of the breath, managing its exit so as to try to escape notice, even if the air, being forced, should expel some residue. To wish to add to the sounds, rather than subtract from them, is a sign of arrogance and disorder. Those who pick their teeth, making their gums bleed, are unpleasant to themselves and hateful to their neighbors.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Μὴ δευτερώσῃς λόγον, ἐν προσευχῇ σου","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts a scriptural prohibition against repeating a word in prayer, echoing a liturgical or ascetic rule found in early Christian tradition.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"Ποππυσμοὶ δὲ καὶ συριγμοὶ καὶ οἱ διὰ τῶν δακτύλων ψόφοι","severity":"info","text":"Whistling, hissing, and finger-snapping were common signals to slaves in Greco-Roman households; Clement condemns them as irrational and unworthy of rational Christians.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"ἀπομύττεσθαι","severity":"info","text":"The verb 'to blow one's nose' is used in a dining context; Clement contrasts refined behavior with that of animals, emphasizing decorum at symposia.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"parallel","kind":"parallel","basis":"text","lemma":"τραγικῶν δίκην προσωπείων","severity":"info","text":"Clement compares an uncontrolled belch to the gaping mouth of a tragic mask, a common trope in moralizing literature against vulgarity.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Ταύτῃ τοι βιωφελέστατα ἡ σοφία παραινεῖ","severity":"info","text":"This passage continues the narrative of proper speech and bodily conduct at symposia, following the previous advice on speaking with moderation.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"text","lemma":"Οἱ δὲ διαγλύφοντες τοὺς ὀδόντας","severity":"info","text":"Clement's condemnation of picking teeth until gums bleed reflects a broader early Christian concern with bodily modesty and self-control, echoed in later monastic rules.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The phrase 'Μὴ δευτερώσῃς λόγον, ἐν προσευχῇ σου' may be a direct quotation from a lost liturgical source or a paraphrase; its exact origin is uncertain.","The reference to 'servants' making sounds with fingers could imply either slaves or free attendants; the social context is not fully specified."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":137,"ref":"p137","source":"Ναὶ μὴν καὶ τῶν ὤτων οἱ γαργαλισμοὶ καὶ τῶν πταρμῶν οἱ ἐρεθισμοὶ ὑώδεις εἰσὶ κνησμοί, πορνείας ἀκολάστου μελετητικοί.

Our men must smell not of perfumes but of virtue, and a woman should breathe Christ, the royal ointment, not of powders and perfumes, and she should always be anointed with the ambrosial ointment of temperance, delighting in the holy perfume of the Spirit. This Christ prepares for his acquaintances, an ointment of fragrance, compounding the perfume from heavenly aromatics. With this perfume the Lord himself is anointed, as is revealed through David: Therefore God, your God, anointed you with oil of gladness beyond your companions; myrrh, stacte, and cassia from your garments. But let us not, like vultures, abhor perfumes, or like beetles—for they say that these, when anointed with rose perfume, die—and among these we must admit a few perfumes for women, such as do not stupefy the husband; for excessive anointings with perfumes smell of funeral, not of conjugal life.

Most certainly. Just as we have excluded luxury from taste, so too we banish the pleasure of sight and smell, lest we unwittingly admit the licentiousness we have expelled, giving it a way back into the soul through the senses, as through unguarded doors. If, then, they say that the great high priest, the Lord, offers the incense of fragrance to God, let them not understand this as a sacrifice and fragrance of incense, but rather that the Lord offers the acceptable offering of love, the spiritual fragrance, to the altar. Oil itself is sufficient to anoint the surface and relax the sinews and suppress a heavier bodily odor, if indeed we need it for this; but the pursuit of fragrance is a bait for indolence, drawing from afar toward a greedy desire. For the licentious man is led from every side—from food, from bedding, from companionship, from the eyes, from the ears, from the jaws, and even from the nostrils. Just as oxen are led by rings and ropes, so the licentious man is drawn by incenses, perfumes, and the fragrances of garlands.

One must therefore cool it much with flowers whenever the sinewy part wishes to be warmed; for the use of these is not to be rejected entirely, but one should employ perfume as a drug and remedy to rouse failing strength, and for catarrhs, chills, and discomfort, just as the comic poet says somewhere: he anoints his nostrils with perfumes; the greatest part of health is to produce beneficial odors for the brain. And the rubbing of the feet with warming or cooling perfumes is practiced for the sake of benefit, since from the head a kind of drawing and withdrawal to the non-essential parts occurs in those who are filled. But pleasure to which utility is not attached is a slander of a courtesan’s character and a drug of excitements. There is a complete difference between drenching oneself with perfume and anointing oneself with perfume: the former is effeminate, while anointing with perfume is sometimes beneficial. At any rate, the philosopher Aristippus, having anointed himself with perfume, said that those who had perished miserably should have perished miserably—the catamites who had slandered the benefit of perfume into reproach. Honor a physician for his usefulness, says Scripture; for the Most High created him, and healing is from the Lord.

But foolish women, dyeing their gray hair and perfuming their locks, become grayer more quickly because the aromatics are drying. Hence those who use perfumes also appear more withered; and dryness makes hair grayer—for whether gray hair is a drying of the hair or a deficiency of heat, dryness drains the hair's proper moist nourishment and produces gray hair. How could we reasonably still love perfumes, through which gray hairs come, when we flee from gray hairs? And just as dogs, tracking by scent, hunt down beasts from the odor, so from the elaborate fragrance of perfumes the self-controlled hunt down the licentious. Such also is the use of garlands, revelling and drunken: \"Away! Do not place a garland on my head.\" For it is good to dwell in dewy and soft meadows, variegated with blooming flowers, in springtime, nourished by a natural and pure fragrance, like bees; but to fashion a woven garland from an undefiled meadow and carry it about at home is not for the temperate; for it is not fitting to cover a revelling head with rosebuds or violets or lilies or other such flowers, decking out the hair. For the garland, when placed, otherwise animates the hair, both through its moisture and through its coolness.

The narcissus is a heavy-scented flower, and its name itself convicts it, producing numbness in the sinews. The exhalations of roses and violets, being gentle and cool, contract and relieve headaches; but for us, it is not permitted to get drunk in any way, nor even to become intoxicated with wine. Indeed, crocus and the flower of henna induce a painless sleep. Many of these, being naturally cold, warm the brain by their exhalations, thinning the superfluities of the head. Hence the rose is so named, they say, because it emits a very great stream of fragrance; for this reason it also withers quickly. But among the ancient Greeks, the use of garlands was not yet present. For neither the Suitors nor the luxurious Phaeacians employed them. In the contests, first came the awarding of prizes, second the collection, third the scattering of leaves, and last the garland, Greece having taken to luxury after the Persian Wars. Therefore, those educated by the Word are excluded from garlands, not because they seem to bind the Word established in the brain, nor because the garland is a symbol of reveling arrogance, but because it is dedicated to idols. Indeed, Sophocles called the narcissus the ancient garland of the great gods, meaning the chthonic ones; Sappho crowns the Muses with the rose—for not from the beginning of the roses from Pieria—and they say Hera delights in the lily, and Artemis in myrtle.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"καρυά","severity":"info","text":"The walnut tree (καρυά) is said to emit a stupefying vapor; Clement etymologizes it from καρωτικός, meaning 'stupefying'.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"νάρκισσος","severity":"info","text":"Narcissus (νάρκισσος) is linked to νάρκη (numbness), as its heavy scent is said to numb the sinews.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"στέφανος","severity":"info","text":"Clement notes that garlands (στέφανος) were a late addition to Greek contests, after the Persian Wars, and were associated with idolatry.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"text","lemma":"Σοφοκλῆς","severity":"info","text":"Clement cites Sophocles calling the narcissus an ancient garland of the chthonic gods, and Sappho crowning the Muses with roses.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"caution","kind":"caution","basis":"text","lemma":"οὐ γὰρ † ἀπ' ἀρχῆς ῥόδων τῶν ἐκ Πιερίας","severity":"caution","text":"The phrase after Sappho is marked with a crux in the edition, indicating textual corruption or uncertain reading.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The crux in the Sappho citation leaves the exact meaning uncertain; the translation follows a conjectural reading."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":147,"ref":"p147","source":"Εἰ γὰρ καὶ τὰ μάλιστα μὲν δι' ἄνθρωπον γέγονε τὰ ἄνθη, ταῦτα δὲ οἱ ἀνόητοι λαβόντες οὐκ εἰς τὴν ἰδίαν εὐχάριστον χρῆσιν, ἀλλ' εἰς τὴν τῶν δαιμονίων ἀχάριστον ὑπηρεσίαν κατεχρήσαντο, ἀφεκτέον αὐτῶν διὰ τὴν συνείδησιν.

The crown is a symbol of undisturbed freedom from care; with this they also crown the dead, and for the same reason the images, thereby testifying in fact that they are dead. For the Bacchants do not celebrate their rites without crowns; but when they are wreathed with flowers, they are inflamed for the mystery. Therefore we must not share in any way with demons, nor must we crown the living image of God like dead idols. For the beautiful crown of amaranth is reserved for him who has lived well; this flower the earth has not been able to bear; only heaven knows how to produce it. Moreover, it is irrational that we, who have heard that the Lord was crowned with thorns, should ourselves revel in the solemn passion of the Lord by wreathing ourselves with flowers. For the Lord's crown signified prophetically us, who were once unfruitful, those who are placed around him through the church, of which he is the head; but it is also a type of faith, of life because of the substance of the wood, of joy because of the name of the crown, and of danger because of the thorn; for it is not possible to approach the Word without bloodshed.

The erring people did not know the Lord, they have not circumcised their reason, they have not been enlightened from their darkness, they have not seen God, they have denied the Lord, they have lost the being of Israel, they have persecuted God, they hoped to insult the Word, and the one they crucified as a malefactor they have crowned as a king. Therefore, indeed, the man in whom they did not believe they will recognize as the Lord, the philanthropic God and just; because they themselves embittered the Lord to show himself, they have borne witness to this for him as he is exalted, having fastened the diadem of justice to him who is raised above every name through the ever-blooming thorn. This diadem, hostile to those who plot against him, has prevented them; friendly to those who assemble with him, it has fenced them in; this crown is the flower of those who have believed in the glorified one, but it bloodies and punishes those who have disbelieved. Indeed, it is also a symbol of the Lord's achievement, as he bore on his head and the governing part of his body all our evils, by which we are pricked; for he himself, by his own passion, having rescued us from scandals and sins and such thorns, and having rendered the devil inoperative, fittingly said in prayer: \"Where, Death, is your sting?\" And we, on the one hand, gather grapes from thorns and figs from brambles; but those on whom he stretched out his hands against a disobedient and fruitless people are torn into wounds.

For it does not hold those who turn over in their sleep, due to the uneven rising of the bed on either side of the body; nor does it allow food to be digested, but rather causes it to burn up, which indeed corrupts the nourishment. Rolling over on smooth beds, which is a natural exercise of sleep, contributes to the proper distribution of food; and those who are able to roll over on smooth beds, having this as a natural exercise of sleep, more easily distribute their food and prepare themselves more fitly for circumstances. Moreover, silver-footed couches are accusers of great ostentation, and ivory in little beds, belonging to a body that has left the soul, is not a holy contrivance of rest for holy men, but a lazy artifice. Therefore one should not be zealous about them. For the use of them is not forbidden to those who possess them, but the pursuit of them is prohibited; for happiness does not lie in these things. Again, it is a mark of Cynic vainglory to sleep like Diomedes, with a wild ox-hide spread beneath, unless perhaps necessity compels. And Odysseus straightened the uneven leg of his marriage bed with a stone. Such simplicity and self-help were practiced not only among private individuals but also among the leaders of the ancient Greeks. And what need have I of these examples?

Let the couch be unpretentious and have smooth legs; for elaborate turnings sometimes become paths for creeping creatures, as they coil around the artful incisions and do not slip off. Above all, the softness of the bed must be tempered with manly restraint. For sleep ought not to be a complete relaxation of the body, but a rest. Therefore I say it should be taken not for idleness, but for a respite from activities. So one must sleep in a wakeful manner. For let your loins be girded and your lamps burning, it is said; and you are like men awaiting their master, when he will return from the wedding, so that when he comes and knocks, you may open to him at once. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he arrives. For a sleeping man is of no more use than a dead one. Therefore one should often rise from bed even in the night and bless God; for blessed are those who are awake for him, likening themselves to angels, whom we call watchers. A sleeping man is worth nothing, no more than one who is not living; but he who has the light is awake, and darkness does not overtake him, nor sleep, since there is no darkness.

Therefore let not our foods weigh us down, but rather lighten us, so that we may be harmed as little as possible by sleep, just as those who swim are weighed down by attached burdens, but on the contrary, as if from an abyss below, sobriety lifts us up to the surfaces of wakefulness. For the descent of sleep resembles death, being carried down into insensibility through folly, cutting off the light by the closing of the eyelids.

Yawns and drowsiness and stretchings and gapings are signs of an unsettled soul's discontent. And this too must be known above all, that it is not the soul which needs sleep—for it is ever in motion—but the body, borne up by rests, is relaxed, the soul no longer acting bodily, but thinking by itself; and the true dreams of one who reasons correctly while sober are the thoughts of a wakeful soul, which at that time is undistracted by the body's sympathies and counsels itself on the best course. The soul's destruction is to become motionless; therefore, by always thinking of God through continuous converse, it instills wakefulness into the body and, by angelic grace, makes man equal to an angel, gaining the eternity of life from the practice of being awake. What must be understood concerning procreation.

Nor should one sow on rocks, nor insult the seed, which is the originating substance of generation, containing within it the rational principles of its nature. To dishonor the natural rational principles by casting them irrationally into unnatural passages is utterly impious. Observe, then, how the all-wise Moses symbolically rejects barren sowing, saying, \"You shall not eat the hare nor the hyena.\" He does not wish man to partake of their quality, nor even to taste of their equal licentiousness; for these animals are excessively frantic about mating. And they say that the hare each year exceeds in defecation, having as many holes as the years it has lived; thus the prohibition of eating the hare indicates a deterrence from pederasty. And the hyena alternates the male into the female each year, and it is hinted that one who abstains from the hyena should not rush into adultery. But that the all-wise Moses manifestly hints through the present prohibition that one should not be assimilated to these animals, I too agree; I do not, however, assent to this interpretation of the things said symbolically. For nature would never be forced into change; what has once been formed in it is not lawful to be counter-formed by passion; for passion is not nature—it is accustomed to counterfeit, not to transform, the formation.

Rather, the new growth of feathers blooms like a fresh garment with a certain dye of feathers, and a little later fades under the winter's threat, like a flower whose color withers; and the voice itself, in the same way, afflicted by the cold, withers. For when the surface is condensed by the surrounding air, the arteries around the neck, being compressed and thickened, force the breath upward, and this, being excessively constricted, chokes and produces a stifled sound. Then, becoming assimilated to the surrounding air and relaxing with the spring, the breath is freed from constriction, moving through the now open and spacious arteries; the withered melody no longer chirps, but now blooms clear and flows more broadly in their utterance, and the song of the birds becomes the spring. Therefore, one should never believe that the hyena changes its nature; for the same animal does not have both male and female genitalia at once, as some have supposed, monstrously inventing hermaphrodites and innovating this third, androgynous nature between female and male.

For this reason, I think, Plato in the *Phaedrus* called pederasty a beast, because those who are given over to pleasures and are lecherous, having bitten the bit, mount like quadrupeds and attempt to beget children. But the godless, as the apostle says, he delivered to passions of dishonor; for their females changed natural use into unnatural, and likewise their males, abandoning natural use, were inflamed in their desire for one another, males working shame upon males and receiving in themselves the recompense they owed for their error.

For one must above all never have sexual intercourse with young men as with females. Hence also the philosopher from Moses says not to sow on rocks and stones, because the seed will never take root and become fruitful. Indeed, the Word through Moses gave very clear instruction: \"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman, for it is an abomination.\" And further, the noble Plato, gathering from the divine scriptures, advised abstaining from every female field except one's own, taking the law from there: \"You shall not give your seed to the wife of your neighbor to be defiled with her.\" The seeds of concubines are unholy and bastard.

This same Moses forbids even approaching one's own wives if they happen to be caught in the monthly purifications. For it is not reasonable to defile the most generative part of the seed, which is soon to be a human being, with the body's discharge, nor to wash it away with the foul stream and refuse of matter, depriving the seed of a well-born generation from the furrows of the womb. Nor did he introduce any of the ancient Hebrews consorting with his own wife while she was pregnant; for mere pleasure, even if taken in marriage, is unlawful, unjust, and irrational. On the contrary, Moses leads husbands away from pregnant wives until they give birth; for in truth the womb, lying below the bladder and above the intestine called the rectum, extends its neck between the shoulders in the bladder, and the mouth of the neck, by which it receives the seed, is closed when full, and then is emptied, being cleansed for conception, and after depositing the fruit, it then admits the seed. It is not shameful for us, for the benefit of our hearers, to name the generative organs, whose creation God was not ashamed of.

It is not right, then, to disturb nature when it is already at work, by going to excess in wantonness. Wantonness, which is many-named and many-formed, when it is diverted into this part of disorder concerning Aphrodite, is called lechery—the vulgar, common, and impure thing, the inclination toward copulation, as the name indicates. From these, when they are increased, a great multitude of diseases supervene: love of dainties, love of wine, love of women, and indeed also profligacy and every love of pleasure, over which desire tyrannizes. Countless kindred passions are augmented by these, from which the licentious character is brought to a head. And Scripture says: \"Scourges and punishments are prepared for the licentious, for the shoulders of the foolish,\" calling the strength of licentiousness and its vigorous endurance \"the shoulders of the foolish.\" Therefore, keep away from your servants empty hopes, and, it says, \"turn away from me unseemly desires, and let not appetite of the belly and sexual intercourse overtake me.\" So it is necessary to keep far off the manifold malice of the treacherous. For not only into the wallet of Crates, but also into our city, there sails no foolish parasite, no lecherous fornicator exulting in his backside, no deceitful prostitute, nor any other such beast of pleasure. Therefore, let a great deal of right conduct be sown throughout our whole life.

It is possible to see from the act itself how the nerves, like warp threads, are strained and torn during the intensity of the encounter; moreover, it scatters a mist over the sense organs and weakens the sinews. This is clear both in irrational animals and in bodies under training, where those who abstain prevail over their opponents in contests, while those who are drawn away from mating are dragged along, as it were, completely emptied of all strength and vigor. The sophist from Abdera called intercourse a minor epilepsy, considering it an incurable disease. For do not relaxations accompany the magnitude of the absence, being attributed to it? For a human is both generated and torn away from a human. Observe the magnitude of the harm: a whole human is torn away in the absence of intercourse; for it is said: \"This now is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh.\" So much is the human emptied by the seed as the human is seen in the body; for what is separated is the beginning of generation.

Marriage is the desire for childbearing, not the disorderly, unlawful, and irrational emission of seed. Our whole life would proceed according to nature if we control our desires from above, not killing the human race, which grows by divine providence, through evil devices; for these, under the pretext of fornication, use abortifacient drugs that bring about complete destruction, aborting both the embryo and philanthropy. But for those to whom marriage is permitted, a pedagogue is needed, so that the mysteries of nature are not performed by day, nor, coming from church or marketplace, does one mate like a rooster at dawn, when the time is for prayer, reading, and the beneficent works of the day; but in the evening it is fitting to rest after the meal and after giving thanks for the enjoyments.

Nor should one behave licentiously even in the darkness of night, but the sense of modesty, like a light of reason, must be confined within the soul; for we will differ in no way from Penelope at her loom, who by day weaves the doctrines of temperance, but by night unravels them when we go to bed. For if modesty is to be practiced, as indeed it is, much more must modesty be shown to one's own wife, refraining from shameful unions, and the trustworthy faith of purity toward neighbors must come from home. For it is not possible, it is not possible to be considered modest by her for whom modesty is not attested in those very moments of sharp pleasures. Goodwill that slips into intercourse, confessing it, blooms briefly and ages with the body, and sometimes even ages before it, when desire withers, whenever marital temperance is insulted by harlot-like pleasures; for the hearts of lovers are winged and their love charms are extinguished by repentance, and often loving turns into hating, when satiety becomes aware of the condemnation. But of licentious words and shameful postures and harlot-like kisses, names of a pornographic nature and suchlike lewdnesses, one must not even make mention, obeying the blessed apostle who says explicitly: \"Let fornication and every impurity or greed not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints.\" Indeed, someone seems to have spoken well: \"Intercourse has benefited no one, and it is acceptable if it has not harmed.\" For lawful intercourse is precarious, except insofar as it is for procreation, and concerning unlawful intercourse, Scripture says:","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"external","lemma":"Πηνελόπης","severity":"info","text":"Penelope, wife of Odysseus, is a classical exemplar of marital fidelity; Clement inverts the image to criticize hypocrisy—daytime virtue undone at night.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Πορνεία δὲ καὶ ἀκαθαρσία πᾶσα ἢ πλεονεξία μηδὲ ὀνομαζέσθω ἐν ὑμῖν","severity":"info","text":"Clement cites an apostolic injunction against naming fornication, impurity, or greed; the source is likely a Pauline or paraenetic tradition, though not verbatim in the canonical epistles.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"συμπλοκή","severity":"info","text":"συμπλοκή (here 'union') is a euphemism for sexual intercourse; Clement uses it to discuss marital moderation, distinguishing lawful from shameful unions.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"parallel","kind":"parallel","basis":"text","lemma":"Συνουσία ὤνησεν μὲν οὐδένα","severity":"info","text":"The maxim 'Intercourse has benefited no one' echoes a saying attributed to the Cynic or Stoic tradition; Clement adapts it to Christian sexual ethics.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"","severity":"info","text":"The passage moves from a critique of nocturnal hypocrisy (Penelope) to a positive injunction for marital modesty, then to a prohibition of licentious speech, ending with a scriptural citation and a proverbial saying.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"caution","kind":"caution","basis":"text","lemma":"ἐγκαθειρκτέον τῇ ψυχῇ τὸ αἰδῆμον","severity":"caution","text":"The phrase 'confine modesty within the soul' is ambiguous: it may mean internalizing modesty as a rational light, or it may imply a Stoic-like suppression of shame; the Coptic reading is not in doubt.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The identity of the 'blessed apostle' is not specified; possibly Paul, but the quoted words are not a direct Pauline citation.","The source of the maxim on intercourse is unattributed; Clement may be drawing on a common philosophical topos."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":167,"ref":"p167","source":"Γυνὴ μισθία ἴση σιάλῳ λογισθήσεται, ὕπανδρος δὲ πύργος θανάτου τοῖς χρωμένοις.

Therefore let us never cover ourselves with darkness, for the light dwells within us; and darkness, it is said, does not overtake it, but the night is illuminated by the prudent reason—the reasonings of good men, which Scripture has called sleepless lamps. Indeed, to attempt to be hidden in one's actions is to confess that one is sinning, and everyone who sins also does injustice immediately, not so much to his neighbor, if he commits adultery, as to himself, because he has committed adultery; but he certainly renders himself worse and more dishonored. For the one who sins, insofar as he sins, is worse and more dishonored than himself; and in any case, incontinence is already present in some way in the one overcome by shameful pleasure; therefore the fornicator is certainly dead to God, and has been abandoned by the Word, as by the Spirit, a corpse. For the holy abhors being defiled, as is fitting. And it is always lawful for the pure to touch the pure; let us not, then, strip off shame along with the garment that is removed, since it is never lawful for the righteous to strip off temperance. For behold, this perishable thing will be clothed with incorruption, when the insatiability of desire, flowing into licentiousness, is disciplined by continence, and having become loveless toward corruption, yields the human being to eternal temperance.

For remember the twenty-four thousand who were cast out because of fornication, and the sufferings of those who fornicated, as I have already said, are types that educate our desires. Our pedagogue exhorts us most clearly: Do not go after your desires, and refrain from your appetites; for wine and women will lead even the wise astray, and he who consorts with harlots will become more reckless, and decay and worms will inherit him, and he will be raised up as a greater example, and again he does not tire of benefiting; but he who looks pleasure in the eye crowns his life. Therefore it is not right to be overcome by sexual pleasures, nor to gape after desires, nor to be agitated by irrational appetites, nor to desire to be defiled.

Therefore, one should not strive for costly clothing any more than for varied food. The Lord himself, dividing his instructions into soul, body, and thirdly external things, advises that external things be procured for the body, that the body be governed by the soul, and that the soul be educated, saying, \"Do not be anxious for your soul what you will eat, nor for your body what you will wear; for the soul is greater than food, and the body than clothing.\" And he adds a clear example of the teaching: \"Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap, that they have no storehouse or granary, and God feeds them. Are you not superior to the birds?\" These things concerning food; and similarly concerning clothing, which belongs to the third category, external things, he enjoins, saying, \"Consider the lilies, how they neither spin nor weave, and I tell you that Solomon did not clothe himself like one of them.\" Solomon the king was exceedingly proud of his wealth. What is more beautiful and blooming than flowers? What is more delightful than lilies or myrrh or roses? If God so clothes the grass that is in the field today and thrown into the oven tomorrow, how much more you, of little faith? \"And do not seek what you will eat or what you will drink.\" Here the particle \"what\" has rejected the variety of food, for this is signified by the scripture: do not be anxious about what kinds of food you will eat or what kinds you will drink; for greed and luxury are anxious about these things.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"ἀκρασίαν ἄριστον μὲν ὁ λόγος φάρμακον","severity":"info","text":"Clement presents reason (λόγος) as the remedy for incontinence, a Stoic-influenced ethical concept.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"μὴ μεριμνᾶτε τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν τί φάγητε","severity":"info","text":"This saying is not a direct biblical quotation but a paraphrase of Jesus' teaching on simplicity, echoing Matthew 6:25-26.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"κατανοήσατε τοὺς κόρακας","severity":"info","text":"The ravens example alludes to God's providence in nature, reminiscent of Matthew 6:26, but Clement adapts it freely.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"κατανοήσατε τὰ κρίνα","severity":"info","text":"The lilies reference is not scriptural but a moral exemplum; Clement contrasts natural beauty with human luxury.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"Σολομὼν περιεβάλετο","severity":"info","text":"Clement invokes Solomon's wealth as a negative example, drawing on Old Testament tradition (1 Kings 10) to critique luxury.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"διαιρῶν τὰς ὑποθήκας εἴς τε ψυχὴν καὶ σῶμα καὶ τρίτον τὰ ἐκτός","severity":"info","text":"Clement structures the Lord's teaching into a tripartite scheme (soul, body, externals), a common philosophical framework.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The Greek text has a lacuna at 2.βις.102.3 (ἀντιποιη2.βις.102.3 τέον), likely 'ἀντιποιητέον' (one must strive for).","The phrase 'τὸ τί μόριον' is ambiguous: Clement interprets 'τί' as rejecting variety, but the grammar is elliptical."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":171,"ref":"p171","source":"τὸ δὲ φαγεῖν μόνον ψιλῶς νοούμενον ἀνάγκης ἐστὶ τεκμήριον, τὸ πλήρωμα, ὡς ἔφαμεν, τῆς ἐνδείας· τὸ δὲ τί ἐκ περισσοῦ, τὸ δὲ περιττὸν ἐκ τοῦ διαβόλου μεμήνυκεν ἡ γραφή. 2.βις.103.3 Σαφηνίζει δὲ τὴν διάνοιαν ἡ ἐπιφερομένη λέξις.

For he says, \"Seek the kingdom of God, and the things of food will be added to you.\" If, then, he removes concern for clothing and food and all superfluities as not necessary, what must we think he would say about love of adornment, dyeing of wool, variety of colors, elaboration of stones, working of gold, and also artificially contrived tresses and twisted curls, and further, painting of eyes, plucking, depilation, whitening, dyeing of hair, and the evil arts connected with these deceptions?","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Μὴ γὰρ ζητεῖτε τί φάγητε ἢ τί πίητε","severity":"info","text":"Clement paraphrases a dominical saying, likely from the Gospel of the Hebrews or a synoptic tradition, urging simplicity in food and drink.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"μετεωρίζεσθε","severity":"info","text":"The verb 'μετεωρίζεσθε' (be carried away) here connotes being lifted up by vanity and luxury, leading away from truth.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"τὰ ἔθνη","severity":"info","text":"Clement identifies 'the nations' (τὰ ἔθνη) as the disorderly and foolish, a common patristic trope contrasting Christian discipline with pagan excess.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Σαφηνίζει δὲ τὴν διάνοιαν ἡ ἐπιφερομένη λέξις","severity":"info","text":"Clement signals that the following quotation clarifies the preceding argument, a typical exegetical move in the Paedagogus.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"text","lemma":"Ζητεῖτε γάρ, φησί, τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts the dominical saying about seeking the kingdom (cf.

For the world is a field, and we are the grass bedewed by the grace of God, and when cut we spring up again, as will be shown more fully in the treatise On Resurrection; but grass is allegorically the common crowd, suited to ephemeral pleasure, blooming for a short time, lovers of ornament and glory and everything rather than truth, fit for nothing but fuel for fire. There was a man, the Lord says in the narrative, very rich, who clothed himself in purple and fine linen, rejoicing splendidly each day; this man was the grass. And a certain poor man named Lazarus lay at the gate of the rich man, covered with sores, desiring to be filled from the crumbs falling from the rich man's table; this man is the grass. But the rich man was punished in Hades, partaking of fire, while the other flourished in the bosom of the Father.

Would that it were possible to remove the purple from the garment, so that it would not turn the eyes of spectators to the face of those who wear it; but they, weaving only a small part of the garment, have made the whole thing purple, inflaming indolence, and indeed they themselves, wandering about these accursed and delicate purples, according to that poetic saying, have been seized by a purple death. For this purple, then, Tyre and Sidon and the neighbor of the sea in Laconia are most desirable; and their dyers and purple-fishers and the shellfish themselves are highly esteemed because the purple blooms from their blood.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"ἀπογυμνοῦσθαι","severity":"info","text":"Clement argues that no part of a woman's body should be bared, extending modesty to the ankle, head, and face.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"glossary","lemma":"θήρατρον","severity":"info","text":"θήρατρον means 'snare' or 'trap'; here it describes bodily beauty as a dangerous lure for men, reinforcing Clement's ascetic moral framework.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"external","lemma":"πορφύρα","severity":"info","text":"Purple dye, extracted from murex shellfish, was a luxury associated with Tyre, Sidon, and Laconia.

Therefore, one must dismiss the gilded and jewel-encrusted vanities of sandals, Attic boots, Sicyonian shoes, buskins, Persian and Tyrrhenian footwear, and, following the custom of our truth, choose the right aim, selecting what is natural. For the use of footwear is partly for the protection of the feet, partly for guarding against stumbling and the roughness of mountain paths, preserving the sole of the foot. For women, white footwear may be permitted, unless they are traveling, in which case they should use oiled footwear. Those who travel need nailed soles. For the most part, however, women should use footwear; it is not fitting to display the foot bare, and besides, a woman is prone to slipping into harm. For a man, going barefoot is very suitable, unless he is on military service. For being shod is somehow close to being bound. Indeed, it is most ascetic to use the feet bare, and it is conducive to health and convenience, where no necessity prevents it. But if we are not traveling and cannot bear going barefoot, we should use slippers or sandals; the Athenians called them \"konipodes,\" because they seem to me to bring the feet close to the dust.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"ὑποδέσεως","severity":"info","text":"The Greek term ὑπόδεσις (here in the genitive) refers to footwear or sandals in general.

Symbolically, the city of the saints is fittingly walled with these, being built spiritually. They have conceived of the inimitable bloom of the stones as the pure and holy bloom of the spirit in substance; but these women, not understanding the symbolic nature of the scriptures, are wholly agape over stones, putting forward that wonderful argument: \"What God has revealed, why should we not use it? And it is available to me, why should I not indulge? And for whom then have these things been made, if not for us?\" Such utterances are from those who are completely ignorant of the will of God. For first, he supplies the necessities, like water and air, manifestly to all, but he has hidden in earth and water all that is not necessary. For this reason, ants mine gold, griffins guard gold, and the sea has hidden the pearl stone; but you are meddlesome in things you should not be. Behold, the whole heaven is spread open, and you do not seek God; but the hidden gold and stones are mined among us by those condemned to death. Moreover, you sing against scripture, which cries out explicitly: \"Seek first the kingdom of heaven, and all these things will be added to you.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"τὰς δώδεκα τῆς οὐρανοπόλεως πύλας","severity":"info","text":"The twelve gates of the heavenly city likely allude to Revelation 21:12-21, where the New Jerusalem has twelve gates of pearl, each made from a single pearl.","cites":[],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"γρῦπες χρυσοφυλακοῦσι","severity":"info","text":"Griffins guarding gold is a motif from Greco-Roman and Near Eastern lore, notably in Herodotus (Histories 3.102-105) and later bestiaries, used here to illustrate the hiddenness of luxury.","cites":[],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Ζητεῖτε πρῶτον τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν","severity":"info","text":"The final exhortation echoes Matthew 6:33 (cf.

Therefore all things are common, and the rich are not to be covetous. So then, \"It is present to me and I have an abundance, why should I not live luxuriously?\" is not humane nor communal, but rather that is loving: \"It is present to me, why should I not share with those in need?\" For such a one is perfect, who has fulfilled \"You shall love your neighbor as yourself.\" For this is true luxury, the treasured magnificence, while expenditure on vain desires holds the character of destruction, not of spending. For God, I know, has given us authority over use, but only up to necessity, and He has willed that use be common. It is absurd for one to live luxuriously while many are in need. For how much more glorious is it to benefit many than to live sumptuously? How much wiser to spend on people than on stones and gold? How much more beneficial to possess decorous friends than inanimate ornaments? How much would fields benefit as much as giving?

In general, then, ornaments like little girls' trinkets must be utterly rejected, even by those who renounce the world itself. For one must be orderly within and show the inner woman as beautiful; for beauty and ugliness are manifested only in the soul. Hence only the serious man is truly beautiful and good, and only the beautiful is held to be good, while virtue alone is manifested even through the beauty of the body and blooms upon the flesh, showing the loveliness of temperance as worthy of love, when character shines like a light upon the form. For the beauty of each plant and animal consists in its own virtue. But the virtue of a human being is justice, temperance, courage, and piety. Therefore the beautiful person is the just and temperate one, and, in sum, the good person, not the rich one. Already even soldiers wish to be adorned with gold, not having read that poetic line: \"He who went to war even with gold was like a foolish girl.\" But love of ornament, which least cares for virtue but clings to the body, having perverted the love of beauty into vainglory, must be utterly cast out.

And the so-called pendants, which have the form of chains, are called chains by the Attic writers themselves by that very name. Philēmōn in his Synephebus called anklets \"fetters around the ankles,\" the disorder of women's feet, transparent garments and a certain golden fetter. Why then is adornment still enviable, or do you wish, O women, to appear yourselves as if fettered? For if the material mitigates the reproach, the passion is indifferent. At any rate, it seems to me that they voluntarily fall into bonds and boast of wealthy misfortunes. Perhaps also the poetic myth says that such bonds were placed around Aphrodite when she was committing adultery, hinting at nothing else than that ornaments are a symbol of adultery; for Homer called those bonds golden too. And now they are not ashamed to wear the most obvious symbols of evil. For just as the serpent deceived Eve, so also golden adornment, using the serpent's form as a bait, has driven other women mad into wantonness, fashioning certain muraenas and serpents for elegance.

The Spirit prophesies through Sophonias: \"Their silver and their gold will not be able to save them on the day of the Lord's wrath.\" But for women educated by Christ, it is fitting to be adorned not with gold, but with the Word, through which alone gold is revealed. The ancient Hebrews would have been blessed if, after stripping the adornment from their women, they had merely thrown it away or melted it down; but as it is, having fashioned it into a golden calf and worshipped it as an idol, they gained nothing from either their craft or their enterprise, yet they taught our women, in the most typical manner, to abstain from ornaments. Indeed, the desire that has prostituted itself for gold becomes an idol tortured by fire, by which alone it is preserved as a luxury, like an idol, not a truth. Hence the Word, through the prophet, reproaches the Hebrews: \"They made silver and gold,\" it says, \"for Baal\"—clearly ornaments—and most plainly threatening, it says, \"And I will avenge upon her the days of the Baalim, on which she sacrificed to it, and put on her earrings and her necklaces,\" and it added the reason for the adornment, saying, \"And she went after her lovers, but forgot me,\" says the Lord.

Therefore it is fitting for women who serve Christ to embrace simplicity. For indeed simplicity promotes holiness, equalizing excesses and through ordinary things providing the need derived from superfluities. For the simple, as the name itself indicates, does not protrude nor is it swollen or puffed up in any respect, but is entirely even, smooth, equal, and without excess, and in this way it is sufficient. Sufficiency is a state that reaches its proper limit without deficiency and without excess; their mother is justice, their nurse is self-sufficiency. This, then, is a state content with what is necessary and by itself providing what contributes to the blessed life. Let there be, then, on the fruits of your hands a holy adornment: generous sharing and works of housekeeping. For he who gives to the poor lends to God, and the hands of the brave enrich. He has called \"brave\" those who despise money and are generous in giving. On the feet, let readiness for well-doing and the journey toward justice be manifest.

But since the flesh is a slave, as Paul also testifies, how could one reasonably adorn the handmaid like a procuress? For that the fleshly form is that of a slave, the apostle says concerning the Lord: That he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, calling the outer man a slave before the Lord served and bore flesh. But the compassionate God himself freed the flesh from corruption, and releasing it from death-dealing and bitter slavery, he clothed it with incorruption, placing upon the flesh this holy ornament of eternity, immortality. There is also another beauty of men: love. And love, according to the apostle, is patient, kind, not jealous, not boastful, not puffed up. For boastfulness is adornment that implies excess and worthlessness. Hence he adds: It does not behave unseemly. For the unseemly is the alien and unnatural form; the artificial is alien, which he clearly explains, saying it does not seek what is not its own; for truth calls its own what is proper, while love of ornament seeks what is alien, being outside both God and the Logos and love. And the Spirit testifies through Isaiah that the Lord himself became ugly in appearance: And we saw him, and he had no form nor beauty, but his form was dishonored, inferior to men.

Now gluttony and love of wine, even if they are great passions, are not so great in magnitude as is love of adornment. A full table and cups in succession are sufficient to fill gluttony; but for those who love gold, purple, and stones, neither the gold above and below the earth is sufficient, nor the Tyrian sea, nor the cargo from India and Ethiopia, nor even the Pactolus flowing with wealth. Not even if one of them becomes a Midas is he filled, but he is still poor, longing for other wealth, and these are ready to die with their gold. But if wealth is blind, as indeed it is, how are those who are frantic about it and sympathize with it not blind? Having no limit to desire, they run aground into shamelessness; for they need both a theater and a procession and a crowd of spectators and wandering in temples and loitering in the streets, so that they become visible to all. For they adorn themselves to please others, boasting in their face, not in their heart; for as the brand marks the runaway slave, so the rouge reveals the adulteress.

For hairnets and the differences of hairnets and elaborate braidings, and the countless arrangements of hair, and the costly constructions of mirrors, with which they shape themselves, hunting for those who, like foolish children, are smitten with forms—these belong entirely to women who have lost all shame, whom one would not err in calling courtesans, making masks of their faces.

For a man sees with the eyes, but the Lord sees into the heart, and he anointed not the one beautiful in body, but the one beautiful in soul. If, then, the natural beauty of the body is considered by the Lord as inferior to the beauty of the soul, what does he think of artificial beauty, rejecting utterly every falsehood? For we walk by faith, not by appearance. Most clearly, then, the Lord teaches through Abraham to despise both homeland and kindred and possessions and all wealth for the one who follows God, having made him a stranger, and for this reason also called him friend, because he despised his property at home; for he was of noble birth and very wealthy. With three hundred and eighteen of his own servants, he subdued the four kings who had taken Lot captive. We find only Esther adorning herself justly.

Injustice prevails, and the eye of that poetic Zeus looks upon the Thracians. Noble blood drinks barbarian plains, and the streams of rivers are stopped by dead bodies.

For the mind is led astray by pleasure, and the purity of reason, if not guided by the Word, slips into licentiousness and receives as the wage of its transgression its fall. An example of this for you are the angels of God who abandoned beauty for a beauty that withers and fell so far from the heavens to the ground. But also the Sicyonians are punished, having fallen because they insulted the holy virgin; their punishment is a tomb, and the memorial of the penalty guides them to salvation. Against men who adorn themselves. To such a degree has luxury advanced that not only the female sex suffers from this vain pursuit, but also men emulate the disease. For not being pure from adornment, they are not healthy, but inclining toward the softer, they become effeminate, cutting their hair in ignoble and lewd styles, wrapped in transparent cloaks, chewing mastic, and smelling of perfume. What would one say seeing them? Unerringly, as a physiognomist, one would divine from their appearance that they are adulterers and catamites, hunting after both kinds of love, hating hair, hairless, loathing the masculine bloom, and adorning their locks like women. \"Living in unholy audacities, the changelings perform reckless and evil deeds,\" says the Sibyl.

This then is the man's token, the beard, through which the man is revealed, which is older than Eve and a symbol of the superior nature; God deemed it fitting for this to be hairy, and scattered hairs over the whole body of the man, but removed the smooth and soft part from the side, creating Eve as a woman with a smooth surface for the reception of seed, she being a helper for generation and household management. And what—for he put forth the smooth—remained man and shows the man; and action is granted to him, as passion is to her. For hairy things are by nature drier and hotter than smooth ones.

No one in his right mind would wish to be thought a fornicator when he is not diseased, nor would anyone willingly choose to slander the beautiful image. For if God foreknew those called according to his purpose to be conformed to the image of his Son, for whose sake, according to the blessed apostle, he ordained himself to be the firstborn among many brothers, how are not those who mutilate the body, which is the conformed likeness of the Lord, godless? For a man who wishes to be beautiful must adorn the noblest part of a human being, the mind, which he must display as more becoming each day; he must pluck not his hairs but his desires. I even pity the slave-dealers' boys who are adorned for outrage, but they are not mutilated by themselves; rather, they are beautified at command for base gain, the wretches. But those who willingly choose to do what they would have deemed worthy of death if commanded, were they men—how are they not despicable? And now life has advanced to such a degree of licentiousness, with injustice reveling, and every lascivious thing has been poured over the cities, having become law. Women stand on rooftops among them, selling their own flesh for the outrage of pleasure, and boys, taught to deny their nature, pretend to be women. Luxury has displaced everything; dainty fastidiousness has disgraced man; it seeks everything, attempts everything, forces everything, confuses nature: men have experienced what belongs to women, and women act like men contrary to nature, both marrying and being married to women.

The wise men of the laws permit these things; it is lawful for them to sin according to the law, and they call the secrecy of pleasure ease. Those who commit adultery against nature think they are free from adultery, but justice follows them as avenger of their audacities, and drawing upon themselves an inexorable calamity, they purchase death for a small coin. The wretched merchants of these wares sail, carrying prostitution as cargo, like grain, like wine. Others, far more miserable, buy pleasures like bread, like relish, not even taking to heart that saying of Moses: \"You shall not profane your daughter by prostituting her, and the land shall not prostitute itself, and the land shall be filled with lawlessness.\" These things were prophesied long ago, and the outcome is manifest; the whole earth is already filled with both prostitution and lawlessness. I praise the ancient Roman legislators; they abhorred the practice of hermaphroditism, and deemed intercourse of the body with the female contrary to the law of nature worthy of burial in a pit according to the law of justice.

But the one who is rightly educated, upon whom peace has alighted, must also keep peace with his own hair. What, then, would women not contrive who hasten toward lewdness, when they see such things mirrored in their men? Rather, these should not be called men, but effeminates and weaklings, whose voices are broken and whose clothing is softened in texture and dye. Such persons are evident, convicted by their manner in outward attire, footwear, bearing, gait, haircut, and glance; for from a man's appearance he will be known, as Scripture says, and from a man's encounter a man will be known; a man's clothing, the step of his foot, and the laughter of his teeth will reveal what is about him. For those who are most at war with other hair tend only to the hair on their head, binding it up almost with hairnets like women. Lions, indeed, boast of their shagginess, but they arm themselves with their hair for battle; boars also pride themselves on their manes, but hunters fear them when their hair bristles; wool-bearing sheep are laden with fleeces, but the benevolent Father multiplied their hair for your service, O man, teaching you to shear the fleeces. And among the nations, the Celts and the Scythians wear their hair long, but they do not adorn it; there is something fearsome in the barbarian's thick hair, and its blondness threatens war; its color is akin to blood.

But sometimes the Scythian even disregards the wagon—its size seems wealth to the barbarian—and, abandoning luxury, lives frugally; taking a self-sufficient home more portable than the wagon, the horse, a Scythian man mounts and is carried wherever he wishes. When he grows weary, he asks the horse for food by hunger, and it offers its veins, and what it alone possesses, it supplies its master with blood; and for the nomad the horse becomes both vehicle and food. As for the Arabs—these are other nomads—the fighting age are camel-riders; they mount their pregnant camels, which graze and run at the same time, carrying their masters, and they carry their household along with them. And if drink should fail the barbarians, they milk them for milk; and when their food is already exhausted, they do not even spare their blood, as they say rabid wolves do. But these beasts, tamer than the barbarians, do not bear a grudge when wronged, but confidently traverse the desert, both carrying and feeding their masters. So perish the guardian beasts whose food is blood; for it is not lawful for humans to touch blood, since the body is nothing but flesh cultivated by blood. Human blood has a share in the Word and partakes of grace with the spirit; and if anyone wrongs it, it will not go unnoticed. It is permitted to it, even naked of form, to speak to the Lord.

They have some of their husbands, pray for others, and seers promise them still others. They do not know, being deceived, that they give themselves as a vessel of pleasure to those who wish to indulge in lust, and exchange their own chastity for the most shameful outrage, considering the reproachful corruption a matter of profit. Many are the servants of hetaeric licentiousness, slipping in from one place or another; for the licentious are easily carried toward wantonness, like pigs borne toward the sinking part of a ship.

And indeed they would not strip before their own husbands, feigning a credibility of shame, but it is permitted to any of the others who wish to see them, shut up at home, naked in the baths; for there they are not ashamed to strip before spectators as before dealers in bodies. But Hesiod advises not even to brighten the skin with a woman's bath.

But luxury, wandering into pleasures, becomes a grievous shipwreck for men; for this sweet and inglorious life of the many is alien to true love of beauty and to seemly pleasures. For by nature man is a lofty and proud animal, a seeker of the beautiful, since he is the creation of the only beautiful one; but a life devoted to the belly is shameful, reproachful, ugly, and ridiculous. Love of pleasure is most alien to the divine nature—to feed like sparrows, to mate like swine and goats; for considering pleasure a good is a sign of complete lack of taste for beauty, and love of wealth drives man from right living, persuading him to blush at nothing shameful, provided only that he has the power, like a beast, to eat all kinds of food and drink likewise, and to provide every satiety of sexual pleasures. For this reason he inherits the kingdom of God most rarely. Where, then, are so many dishes prepared except to fill one belly? The dung-heaps prove the impurity of gluttony, into which our stomachs spew the remnants of the feast. And where do they gather so many cupbearers, when they could be filled with a single cup? And where the chests of garments? And where the gold? And where the ornaments? These are prepared for thieves and malefactors and for greedy eyes.

For just as wells that naturally gush forth, when drawn from, flow back to their original measure, so giving, being a good source of philanthropy, sharing the drink with the thirsty, increases again and is filled, in the way that milk is accustomed to flow to breasts that are suckled or milked. For he who has the all-powerful God Logos is without need and never lacks anything he requires; for the Logos is a possession without need and the cause of all abundance.

Therefore the good man is never without resources, as long as he preserves his confession to God; for it is possible for him to ask and receive what he needs from the father of all and to enjoy his own, if he keeps the son; and it is also possible for him to perceive no lack.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"εὐτέλειαν","severity":"info","text":"Clement reprises the theme of frugality (εὐτέλεια) as essential spiritual provision for the heavenly journey, linking it to the earlier example of Elijah.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"λύτρον ἐστὶν ἀνδρὸς ψυχῆς ὁ ἴδιος πλοῦτος","severity":"info","text":"Clement cites a scriptural principle that a man's own wealth is the ransom of his soul, likely alluding to Proverbs 13:8 LXX or similar wisdom tradition, though not verbatim.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Οὐ γὰρ ἐπ' ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ὁ δίκαιος","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts Deuteronomy 8:3 LXX ('not by bread alone') and reinterprets it as living by the word of the Lord, the true bread of the heavens.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"glossary","lemma":"λόγος","severity":"info","text":"Here λόγος refers to the divine Logos, identified with Christ, who is the self-sufficient possession and cause of all abundance for the righteous.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"καλὴν βακτηρίαν τὴν εὐεργεσίαν","severity":"info","text":"The image of beneficence as a staff for the ascent to heaven reflects Cynic-Stoic ideals of self-sufficiency and the Christian virtue of charity, common in Clement's synthesis.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"","severity":"info","text":"The passage moves from a general principle (frugality as provision) to scriptural proof (wealth as ransom), an analogy (wells and breasts), and a concluding rebuttal of a potential objection about the righteous lacking bread.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The phrase 'εἰ φυλάττοι τὸν υἱόν' is ambiguous: it may mean 'if he keeps the son' (i.e., preserves his relationship with Christ) or 'if he guards the son' (as a possession).

By observing their unseemly behavior, so that they themselves might not fall into similar disgraces, they were educated by the reproachfulness of the drunkards, benefiting for their own sinlessness. For among men, some are saved by being taught, while others either emulated or sought virtue self-taught. That one is most excellent who understands everything for himself; this is Abraham, who sought God. Good also is that one who heeds one who speaks well; these are the disciples who were persuaded by the Word. For this reason, one is called a friend, the others apostles, both proclaiming one and the same God, one by inquiring, the others by preaching. Both are peoples, and of these two the hearers are the one benefiting through inquiry, the other being saved through discovery. But he who neither understands himself nor, when hearing another, stores it in his heart, that man is useless. He is another people, a useless gentile people, this people who do not follow Christ. Yet in manifold ways the philanthropic pedagogue benefits: he has exhorted in some matters, reproached in others, and also pointed out to us the shame of others who sin and the punishment for this, while at the same time captivating and admonishing, revealing a philanthropic turning away from evil through the demonstration of those who have suffered.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"background","lemma":"Εἵλωτας","severity":"info","text":"The Helots were a subjugated population in Laconia and Messenia, state-owned serfs of the Spartans.

Many such are the images of divine wisdom; but I will mention one example and set it forth briefly: the calamity of the Sodomites is a judgment for those who did wrong, but a lesson for those who hear. The Sodomites, having slipped from great luxury into licentiousness, committing adultery without fear and being madly frantic about pederasty, were observed by the all-seeing Word, whom it is impossible to escape when doing unholy deeds, nor did the sleepless guardian of humanity overlook their licentiousness; but turning us away from imitation of them, educating us to his own temperance, imposing punishment on the sinners so that the impunity of licentiousness might not gain additional license, he ordered Sodom to be burned, pouring a little of that prudent fire upon their licentiousness, so that their lust, not becoming unchaste, might not open wide gates to those carried away by pleasure.

Bathing for the sake of pleasure must be dismissed; for shameless pleasure must be utterly cut off. Bathing is to be adopted by women for the sake of cleanliness and health, and by men for health alone. The matter of warmth is superfluous, since the body shriveled by cold can be comforted in other ways. Frequent use of the bath weakens the powers and relaxes the natural tensions, often producing faintness and swooning. For in a way the body drinks, like trees, not only through the mouth but also through the whole body by means of the pores during the bath, as they say. A proof of this: often those who are thirsty, after entering the water, have relieved their thirst. Therefore, if the bath is beneficial for something, we must use it sparingly. The ancients called them \"fulleries for men,\" since they wear out the bodies faster than is proper and force premature aging, boiling the flesh like iron softened by heat; hence we need, as it were, the tempering and hardening of cold. Nor should one bathe every time; but if one is either too empty or too full, the bath must be avoided. Indeed, it must be according to the age of the body and the season of the year; for it does not benefit everyone always, nor always, as those wise in these matters agree.

And to be anointed by many servants is to insult one's neighbors, since they take advantage of luxury and refuse to understand that the bath must be common property of all who bathe. One ought to wash, above all, the soul with the cleansing word, and the body as well, when necessary, because of the filth that grows on it, and also, at times, to relieve weariness. \"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites,\" says the Lord, \"for you are like whitewashed tombs: outside the tomb appears beautiful, but inside it is full of dead bones and all uncleanness.\" And again to the same he says: \"Woe to you, because you clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of uncleanness. Clean first the inside of the cup, so that the outside may also become clean.\" Now the best bath, that of the soul, wipes away its filth and is spiritual, concerning which the prophecy explicitly says: \"The Lord will wash away the filth of the sons and daughters of Israel, and will cleanse the blood from among them, the blood of lawlessness and the murders of the prophets.\" And the Word added the manner of cleansing, saying: \"by a spirit of judgment and by a spirit of burning.\" The bath of the body, which is fleshly, is accomplished by water alone, as often happens in the countryside, where there is no bath.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"οὐδὲ γὰρ τοσοῦτον ἐνδιατριπτέον τῷ βαλανείῳ ὡς δεῖσθαι χειραγωγοῦ","severity":"info","text":"Clement warns against excessive time in the bath, to the point of needing a guide; this reinforces his earlier rejection of bathing for pleasure.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Οὐαὶ γὰρ ὑμῖν, γραμματεῖς καὶ Φαρισαῖοι ὑποκριταί","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts Matthew 23:27, where Jesus condemns scribes and Pharisees as whitewashed tombs, to contrast outer cleanliness with inner filth.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Ἐκπλυνεῖ κύριος τὸν ῥύπον τῶν υἱῶν καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων Ἰσραήλ","severity":"info","text":"Clement cites a prophetic passage (likely from the Septuagint, e.g., Isaiah 4:4 or similar) to support spiritual cleansing by the Lord.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"πνεύματι κρίσεως καὶ ἐν πνεύματι καύσεως","severity":"info","text":"The phrase 'spirit of judgment and spirit of burning' likely refers to a prophetic or apocalyptic motif of purification through divine judgment and fire.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"βαλανεῖον","severity":"info","text":"Public baths were common in Roman cities; Clement's critique of luxury and excessive bathing reflects contemporary moral discourse on modesty and self-control.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Καθάρισον πρῶτον τὸ ἔνδον τοῦ ποτηρίου","severity":"info","text":"Clement uses the cup metaphor to structure his argument: inner spiritual cleansing must precede outer bodily washing, mirroring the earlier tomb analogy.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The exact source of the prophetic quotation about washing away filth is not identified; it may be a composite or paraphrase.","The phrase 'spirit of judgment and spirit of burning' is obscure; it may derive from an apocryphal or lost prophetic text."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":230,"ref":"p230","source":"1 Ὅτι καὶ γυμνάσια ἐγκριτέον τοῖς κατὰ λόγον βιοῦσιν.

For youths, exercise in the gymnasium is sufficient, even if a bath is at hand; and indeed, for men, to approve these before bathing, more than anything else, is perhaps not amiss, since they have some usefulness for the young in regard to health, instilling both earnestness and ambition to care not only for good bodily condition but also for good spirit; which, when done without being drawn away from better occupations, is graceful and not without profit. Nor here should women be excluded from bodily exertion, but they are not to be summoned to wrestling and running; rather, they are to be exercised in wool-working and weaving and, if need be, in assisting at the cooking. Moreover, women must themselves bring forth from the storeroom what we need, and it is not shameful for them to approach the mill; nor is it a reproach for a domestic wife and helpmeet to be busy about the food, so that it may be pleasing to her husband. And if she should shake up a bed by herself, offer a drink to her thirsty husband, and set food before him, she would be exercising most becomingly and for temperate health. The Pedagogue approves such a woman, who will stretch out her arms for useful tasks, and will rest her hands on the distaff; she will open her hands to the poor, and extend her wrist to the beggar, not ashamed to emulate the most beautiful service of Sarah, who ministered to the travelers.

And the scriptures offer countless examples of frugality together with self-reliance, and also models of exercises.

But I almost forgot to mention that famous Pittacus, that the king of the Mytilenaeans used to grind grain, engaging in active exercise. It is also good to draw water for oneself and to cut wood which one will use oneself. And Jacob tended the sheep of Laban that were left behind, having a royal scepter of storax wood as a sign, practicing through the wood to change nature for the better. For many, at times, even the exertion of reading is an exercise. And indeed, as for wrestling, which we have approved, let it not be undertaken for the sake of useless contentiousness, but for the expulsion of manly sweat; and one should not labor over the technical, the showy aspect of it, but the elements of upright wrestling, from the twisting of necks, hands, and sides; for such exertion is more decorous and more manly with seemly strength, undertaken for the sake of useful and beneficial health, while the other labors of gymnastics, practicing postures not befitting free men, are ridiculous.

Keeping especially in mind that saying spoken in a holy manner: \"Having your conduct among the nations good, so that when they slander you as evildoers, they may, observing your good works, glorify God.\" Therefore the pedagogue permits us to use simple clothing and the color white, as we have said before, so that, by making our own not what is artificially variegated but what is naturally produced, and by rejecting everything deceitful and false to the truth, we may embrace the uniform and single-faced character of truth. Sophocles, reproaching a young man for luxurious living, says: \"You are resplendent in womanish garments.\" For just as there is a proper dress for a soldier, a sailor, and a ruler, so also for a temperate man there is a proper dress—unpretentious, becoming, and clean.

And in this, too, the emulator of Moses, the most excellent Plato, accepts that texture which has no more work than that of a temperate woman; and he says elsewhere that white colors would be suitable for dignity, and in weaving, too, that dyes should not be applied except for military adornments. White, therefore, is appropriate for peaceful and luminous men. Just as signs that are very close to their causes, when present, signify, or rather demonstrate, the existence of that which produced them—for example, smoke indicates fire, and good complexion and good pulse indicate health—so also among us, such a garment indicates the state of the character. Temperance is pure and simple, since purity is a habit that prepares a clean and untainted way of life, and simplicity is a habit that removes superfluities. Solid clothing, and especially that which is unfulled, retains the heat in the body, not because the garment itself possesses heat, but because it turns back the heat leaving the body and does not allow it passage; and if some does enter, it catches it and holds it within itself, and, being warmed by it, in turn warms the body, for which reason this garment is especially to be used in winter; and it is easy to manage.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"λευκωθέντα","severity":"info","text":"The verb λευκωθέντα (whitened) suggests a symbolic purification, not merely a color preference, aligning with Clement's moral interpretation of white as truth and simplicity.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"Πλάτων","severity":"info","text":"Clement cites Plato as an emulator of Moses, referencing Platonic ideals of simplicity and moderation in dress, particularly from the Republic and Laws.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"parallel","kind":"parallel","basis":"text","lemma":"καπνὸς μὲν πῦρ","severity":"info","text":"The analogy of smoke indicating fire and complexion indicating health is a common Stoic and Platonic example of sign inference, used here to link external dress to inner character.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"ἄγναφος","severity":"info","text":"ἄγναφος (unfulled) refers to cloth not treated by fulling, which retains heat better; Clement recommends it for winter as practical and simple.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Καθάριος δὲ καὶ ἀφελὴς ἡ σωφροσύνη","severity":"info","text":"This sentence introduces a definitional turn: temperance is analyzed into purity and simplicity, each defined as a habit (ἕξις), structuring the moral argument.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The phrase 'ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς ἄκρας ἄχρι ποδῶν ἐσχάτων' may be a conventional expression for 'from head to toe' without specific ritual connotation.","The reference to 'γυναικὸς σώφρονος' (temperate woman) in Plato is not precisely identified; it may allude to a lost or general passage."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":235,"ref":"p235","source":"εὐκολία δέ ἐστιν ἕξις ἀπέριττος προσδεκτικὴ τῶν πρὸς τὸ ἀνελλιπὲς ἐξαρκούντων εἰς τὸν κατὰ λόγον, τὸν ὑγιῆ καὶ μακάριον, βίον.

Reason forbids those who force nature to pierce the lobes of the ears. Why not also the nose? So that the saying may be fulfilled: \"As a ring in a pig's snout, so is beauty to a foolish woman.\" For in general, if anyone thinks to adorn herself with gold, she is inferior to gold, and one inferior to gold is not master of it. How is it not most absurd to admit oneself lesser and inferior to Lydian dust? Just as gold is defiled by the filth of a sow stirring up mire with its snout, so the more luxurious women, puffed up by abundance, outrage true beauty with the pollutions of lust. He gives them a ring of gold, not for adornment, but for sealing things at home worthy of guarding, for the sake of household management.

But let their limit be ambition directed only toward their own husbands. I would not wish them to cultivate physical comeliness, but to win over their husbands by prudent affection, a compelling and just remedy. Nevertheless, since they choose to be unfortunate in soul, let it be set before them, if they wish to be prudent, to gently soothe the irrational impulses and desires of their husbands; and quietly lead them toward simplicity by gradual habituation to what is more moderate. For a dignified bearing is achieved not by adding burdensome things, but by removing excess. Just as one should cut away the frivolous expenditures of women—like wings—which produce unstable and empty pleasures, by which they are lifted up and take flight, often flying away from marriage. Therefore, it is necessary to restrain women modestly and bind them with prudent shame, so that they do not slip from the truth through frivolity. It is good, then, for husbands to entrust their wives with the management of the household, having confidence in them, and to give them assistance for this purpose. But if it should be necessary for us, as citizens engaged in public life and in some other affairs conducted in the countryside, and often even being without our wives, to seal something for security, then for this purpose alone let us also have a signet ring; but the other rings must be thrown away, since ornament according to Scripture is a golden discipline for the prudent man.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"συγγνωστέον","severity":"info","text":"Clement concedes that women in unhappy marriages may adorn themselves to please their husbands, but he limits this ambition to the husband alone.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"φιλανδρίᾳ σώφρονι","severity":"info","text":"The phrase 'prudent affection' (φιλανδρίᾳ σώφρονι) is a key term: Clement advocates a rational, self-controlled love rather than physical allure as a remedy for marital discord.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"κατὰ τὴν γραφὴν χρυσοῦς φρονίμῳ παιδεία","severity":"info","text":"The phrase 'ornament according to Scripture is a golden discipline for the prudent man' likely alludes to Proverbs 1:8-9 or similar wisdom texts, though the exact reference is not given.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"ἀποσφραγίζεσθαί τινα","severity":"info","text":"The mention of sealing documents with a signet ring reflects common Roman administrative practice; Clement permits only one ring for practical use, rejecting multiple rings as vanity.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"","severity":"info","text":"This passage transitions from general advice on women's dress to specific marital conduct, then to the use of signet rings, linking domestic economy with broader Christian simplicity.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"caution","kind":"caution","basis":"text","lemma":"δε3.11.58.2","severity":"caution","text":"The Greek text includes a corrupt or extraneous marker 'δε3.11.58.2' which likely stems from manuscript notation or a scribal insertion; it disrupts the sentence and should be disregarded.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The phrase 'δε3.11.58.2' is an unclear insertion, possibly a manuscript reference or marginal note, and has been omitted from the translation.","The scriptural allusion 'κατὰ τὴν γραφὴν χρυσοῦς φρονίμῳ παιδεία' is not explicitly identified; it may refer to a lost or composite text."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":237,"ref":"p237","source":"Αἱ δὲ χρυσοφοροῦσαι τῶν γυναικῶν δεδιέναι μοι δοκοῦσιν, μή, ἢν ἀφέληταί τις αὐτῶν τὰ χρυσία, δοῦλαι νομισθῶσιν οὐ κοσμούμεναι.

Moreover, men should not wear a ring on the joint—for that is womanly—but on the little finger, and let it be placed at the very end of it; for thus the hand will be useful in those tasks where we need it, and the signet will not easily fall off, being secured by the greater constriction of the joint.

For instance, the psalmist, delighting in the hair of the beard, says, as the ointment that descends upon the beard, the beard of Aaron; having praised the comeliness of the face by the palinode of the beard, he anointed it with the ointment of the Lord. Since cropping is not to be undertaken for the sake of adornment, but out of necessity, the hairs of the head, so that they do not grow and hinder the eyes by falling down, and perhaps those on the mustache that become soiled during eating, should be trimmed, not with a razor—for that is ignoble—but with the two barber's shears; but those of the beard, which cause no annoyance, should not be disturbed, as they produce dignity of the face and are capable of generating awe; and the appearance also leads many astray not to sin because it is easily detected, while for those who do not wish to sin openly, the concealment of the appearance and its lack of distinctiveness is most delightful, under cover of which, being able to err through ignorance, they have reaped the benefit of sinning fearlessly by being assimilated to the majority.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"ψαλμῳδός","severity":"info","text":"The term 'psalmist' here refers to the biblical author of Psalm 133 (LXX 132), which mentions the beard of Aaron and ointment.

For women it is sufficient to soften their hair and to bind up their locks simply with a plain pin at the neck, increasing their chaste tresses into genuine beauty through simple care. For the meretricious braidings of hair and the fastenings of tresses, besides making them ugly, cut the hair, plucking it out with their artful interweavings, on account of which they do not even touch their own heads for fear of disturbing the arrangement of their hair, and even sleep comes to them with dread, lest they inadvertently dishevel the pattern of the braiding. Additions of others' hair are utterly rejected, and it is most impious to equip the head with alien tresses, dressing the skull in the locks of corpses; for on whom will the presbyter lay his hand? Whom will he bless? Not the adorned woman, but the alien hair and through it another head.

But neither should faces be rubbed with the tricks of crafty wisdom; let us rather point out to them a modest art of adornment: for the best beauty is first of all the psychic, as I have often noted, when the soul is adorned with the Holy Spirit and inspired by its brightenings—justice, prudence, courage, temperance, love of goodness, and modesty, than which no more blooming color has ever been seen. Then also bodily beauty is to be cultivated, the symmetry of limbs and parts with good complexion. The art of adornment is here appropriate to health, by which the transition from the counterfeit image to the true one, according to the form given by God, is achieved. The good mixture of drinks and the proportion of foods are powerful to beautify according to nature. For from these the body not only gains health, but also causes beauty to shine forth. For from the fiery element come luster and sparkle, from the moist element brightness and grace, from the dry element manliness and stability, from the airy element good breath and equilibrium, from which this well-rhythmed and beautiful statue of the Word is adorned.

Indeed, the best and healthiest regimens, by exercising the bodies, produce genuine and lasting beauty, as the heat draws to itself all moisture and the cold breath; heat, when fanned by movements, is attractive to itself. And when it has drawn, it gently steams through the flesh itself the surplus from nourishment, which is being warmed, partly by moisture, partly by excess of heat. Hence the previous food is also evacuated; but in a body that is inactive, the food eaten does not adhere, but falls away, like bread from a cold oven, either entirely or only leaving the base. Naturally, therefore, in those who are excessive, urine and excrement increase in the excretions, and their other superfluities also increase, and likewise their sweats, as the nourishment is not distributed to the body but is poured out into the superfluities. From this also arise lusts, as the surplus flows around the organs of procreation. Therefore, by moderate movements, this surplus must be melted and dissolved into digestion, through which beauty is reddened.

For not, as some do, emulating the pretense of comedy and watching for the broken movements of dancers, do they stage-manage their conversations, with delicate gestures, languid walks, and affected voices, glancing about loosely, trained as a bait of pleasure. For honey drips from the lips of a harlot woman, who speaking for favor greases your throat, but later you will find it more bitter than gall and sharper than a two-edged sword; for the feet of folly lead those who consort with her after death into Hades. Indeed, the harlot conquered Samson, the noble man, and another woman sheared off his manhood.

Comedy says that courtesan’s steps leave behind a season and luxury. But harlot’s steps do not rest upon truth; for they do not tread the paths of life, and her tracks are slippery and not easily recognized. Above all, one must spare the eyes, since it is better to slip with the feet than with the eyes. The Lord, at any rate, heals this passion most summarily, saying, if your eye offends you, pluck it out, tearing up desire from its roots. But languishing glances and winking, which is fluttering through the eyes, is nothing other than committing adultery through the eyes, with desire being shot forth through them. For the eyes are corrupted before the whole body. But the eye, beholding beautiful things, gladdens the heart, that is, having learned to see well, it gladdens; but the eye that winks deceitfully brings sorrows to men. Somewhere they introduce the effeminate Sardanapalus, the king of the Assyrians, sitting cross-legged on a couch, carding purple wool and rolling the whites of his eyes. Women who practice these things prostitute themselves by their own glances; for the eye is the lamp of the body, says Scripture, through which the inner things are revealed, illuminated by the visible light.

And not being indignant with those who are licentious becomes a clear proof of a disposition that turns to the same thing.

Therefore, let ugliness of unmanliness never be found in movements or in postures. Nor, indeed, should one use healthy servants as if they were beasts of burden. For just as they are commanded to submit to their masters with all fear, not only to good and gentle ones but also to crooked ones, says Peter, so equality, patience, and philanthropy are fitting for masters. For the end, he says, is that all be of one mind, sympathetic, brotherly, compassionate, humble, and the like, so that you may inherit a blessing. Zeno of Citium seems to sketch a beautiful and lovable image of a young man, and thus he sculpts him: let the face be clean, the eyebrow not lowered, nor the eye wide open nor languid, the neck not thrown back, nor the limbs of the body relaxed, but the elevated parts like taut strings, sharpness directed toward reason, and retention of what is rightly said, and postures and movements yielding nothing of hope to the licentious.

Such things their unthrifty luxury devises for them in their evil leisure; for idleness is the cause; and one is enamored of vain things that are outside the truth; for it is not possible to obtain pleasure without harm in any other way; and the choice of life is an imitation of each person's mind. But, as it seems, only associations with good men are beneficial. On the contrary, the all-wise pedagogue, through Moses, recognizing that association with base men is swine-like, forbade the older people to partake of swine, indicating that those who call upon God must not mix with unclean men, who, like swine, delight in bodily pleasures, in dainty foods, and in lascivious titillations itching for sexual pleasure, rejoicing in fruitless pleasure.

These gatherings are indeed filled with much disorder and lawlessness, and the pretexts for the assembly are a cause of indecency, with men and women mingling together to gaze at one another. Here the assembly already struts about. For when the eye is greedy, the appetites are heated, and the eyes, becoming accustomed to looking more boldly at those nearby, because they have leisure allowed them, inflame the erotic desires. Therefore both the spectacles and the performances, full of buffoonery and much idle talk, must be forbidden. For what shameful deed is not displayed in the theaters?

For the merciless ambitions that cause so much death are no longer plays, nor are the vain pursuits and irrational emulations, nor the empty expenditures of property, nor the factions that arise from these still plays. But idleness must never be purchased by vain pursuit. For a sensible person would never choose the pleasant over the better. But not all of us, they say, are philosophers.

How do you love yourself, if you are not a lover of life? I have not learned letters, they say. But if you have not learned to read, hearing is inexcusable, because it is not taught; faith is not the possession of the wise in worldly terms, but of those wise in God; and it is trained even without letters, and its common yet divine writing is called love, a spiritual composition. It is possible to hear divine wisdom, and it is possible to live as a citizen, and it is not forbidden to conduct worldly affairs in an orderly manner according to God.

Let us conduct ourselves worthily of the kingdom, expressing the goodwill of the soul through a temperate and closed mouth, through which a gentle manner is especially shown. There is also another impure kiss, full of poison, pretending holiness. Do you not know that even spiders, merely touching the mouth, afflict men with pains, and that kisses often inject the poison of licentiousness? It has therefore become clear to us that the kiss is not love; for love is of God. This is the love of God, says John: that we keep the commandments, not that we fawn upon one another with the mouth, and his commandments are not burdensome. Moreover, the greetings of the beloved along the roads, full of senseless boldness, of those who wish to be conspicuous to outsiders, partake of not even the slightest grace. For if it is right to pray to God mystically in the inner chamber, it would follow that one should also greet one's neighbor, whom we are commanded to love second, similarly to God and mystically, seizing the opportunity inwardly; for we are the salt of the earth, and whoever blesses a friend early with a loud voice, says the scripture, will seem to differ in nothing from one who curses. He seems above all to have turned away from the sight of women. For it is possible to sin not only by touching but also by looking, which the one genuinely being educated must especially avoid.

For it is possible to slip when one sees, but impossible to desire when one does not see. For it is not enough for the temperate to be pure, but one must also strive to be beyond reproach, shutting out every cause of suspicion for the summation of chastity, so that we may not only be faithful, but also appear trustworthy. And indeed this too must be guarded against, as the apostle says, lest anyone find fault with us; for we take thought for good things not only before the Lord, but also before men. Turn your eye away from a woman who is graced, and do not study another's beauty, says Scripture. And if you ask the reason, it will explain further to you: for many have been led astray by a woman's beauty, and from this friendship is kindled like fire, leading to unquenchable fire through sin—the friendship that arises from fire, which they have called love.\n\nA summary survey likewise of the best life, as many of the holy scriptures characterize the life of Christians. And I would also advise those who are married never to kiss their own wives in the presence of servants. For Aristotle did not even allow laughing at slaves, much less should a wife appear to be affectionate with them in their sight. It is better, beginning from home, to display dignity from marriage. For the union of temperance is very great, breathing pure pleasure. Indeed, the tragedy says wonderfully: Alas, alas, women, it says, how among men neither gold, nor tyranny, nor the luxury of wealth has so much provided different pleasures as the just mind of a noble man and a pious woman, thinking what is just.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"Ἀλλὰ τὸ ἐμπεσεῖν φυλακτέον","severity":"info","text":"The opening phrase shifts from the previous discussion of the kiss to a general warning against falling into temptation, linking sight and desire.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Ἀπόστρεψον δὲ τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν ἀπὸ γυναικὸς κεχαριτωμένης","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts a biblical exhortation to avert the gaze from a graced woman, echoing wisdom traditions (cf.

Πολλὰς δ' ἂν καὶ παρὰ τοῖς ἄλλοις εὕροιμεν ὑποθήκας, οἷον φέρε, εὐχῆς μὲν πέρι· τὰ ἔργα τὰ ἀγαθά, φησίν, εὐχὴ κυρίῳ δεκτή, λέγει ἡ γραφή. Καὶ ὁ τρόπος τῆς εὐχῆς ὑπαγορεύεται· Ἐὰν ἴδῃς, φησί, γυμνόν, περίβαλε, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν οἰκείων τοῦ σπέρματός σου οὐχ ὑπερόψει. Τότε φανήσεται πρώιμον τὸ φῶς σου, καὶ τὰ ἰάματά σου ταχὺ ἀνατελεῖ, καὶ προπορεύσεται ἔμπροσθεν ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου, καὶ ἡ δόξα τοῦ θεοῦ περιστελεῖ σε. Τίς οὖν ὁ καρπὸς τῆς εὐχῆς ταύτης; Τότε ἐπιβοήσῃ, καὶ ὁ θεὸς ὑπακούσεταί σου· ἔτι λαλοῦντός σου ἐρεῖ· ἰδοὺ πάρειμι. Περὶ δὲ νηστείας ἵνα τί μοι, φησίν, νηστεύετε; λέγει κύριος. Οὐ ταύτην τὴν νηστείαν ἐγὼ ἐξελεξάμην, καὶ ἡμέραν ἄνθρωπον ταπεινοῦν τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ· οὐδ' ἂν κάμψῃς ὡς κρίκον τὸν τράχηλόν σου καὶ σάκκον καὶ σποδὸν ὑποστρώσῃ, οὐδ' οὕτως καλέσετε νηστείαν δεκτήν.","english":"of the generous arrangement of the scriptures and the more ready discovery of salvation. We have the Decalogue through Moses, hinted at by a simple and single element, which circumscribes a saving designation of sins: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not worship idols, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother, and the things that follow from these. These things we must observe, as well as whatever else is enjoined in the readings of the books. And he also enjoins through Isaiah: Wash yourselves, become clean, remove the wickedness from your souls before my eyes; learn to do good, seek out justice, rescue the wronged, judge for the orphan, do right by the widow; and come, let us converse, says the Lord. And we would find many precepts also among the others, for example, concerning prayer: The good works, it says, are a prayer acceptable to the Lord, says scripture. And the manner of prayer is prescribed: If you see someone naked, it says, clothe him, and you will not overlook those of your own seed. Then your light will appear early, and your healings will quickly rise, and your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of God will enfold you. What then is the fruit of this prayer? Then you will call out, and God will hear you; while you are still speaking, he will say, Behold, I am here. And concerning fasting: Why do you fast for me? says the Lord. I did not choose this fasting, nor a day for a man to humble his soul; not even if you bend your neck like a ring and spread sackcloth and ashes beneath you, will you thus call it an acceptable fasting.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Οὐ μοιχεύσεις, οὐκ εἰδωλολατρήσεις, οὐ παιδοφθορήσεις, οὐ κλέψεις, οὐ ψευδομαρτυρήσεις· τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα","severity":"info","text":"Clement adapts the Decalogue, replacing the Sabbath commandment with a prohibition of pederasty (οὐ παιδοφθορήσεις) and adding filial piety, reflecting his pedagogical and moral concerns.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"Λούσασθε, καθαροὶ γένεσθε, ἀφέλετε τὰς πονηρίας ἀπὸ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου· μάθετε καλὸν ποιεῖν, ἐκζητήσατε κρίσιν, ῥύσασθε ἀδικούμενον, κρίνα","severity":"info","text":"This is a paraphrase of Isaiah 1:16-17, though not a verbatim quotation; Clement adapts the prophetic call to justice and purity as a pedagogical precept.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"τὰ ἔργα τὰ ἀγαθά, φησίν, εὐχὴ κυρίῳ δεκτή","severity":"info","text":"Clement cites a scriptural maxim on prayer, likely from the Septuagintal wisdom tradition (cf.

For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; I was naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.\" And when have we done any of these things for the Lord? Again the Pedagogue himself will speak, turning beneficence and brotherly love toward himself and saying: \"Insofar as you have done these things to the little ones, you have done them to me.\" And such as these will go into eternal life. Such are the rational laws, the hortatory words, not written on stone tablets by the finger of the Lord, but inscribed in the hearts of men, which alone admit no corruption.

He who says he has known him and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and in him the truth is not; but he who keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. In this we know that we are in him; he who says he abides in him ought to walk as he walked. O the blessed nurslings of the pedagogy; let us fill the good face of the church and run to the good mother, and if we become hearers of the word, let us glorify the blessed economy through which man is educated, sanctified as a child of God, and while being educated on earth, he dwells in heaven, and there receives a father whom he learns of on earth. The word both does and teaches and educates all things. A horse is led by a bridle, and an ox is led by a yoke, a wild beast is caught by a noose, but man is remolded by the word, by which wild beasts are tamed, swimming creatures are lured, and flying creatures are drawn down. This one truly contrives a bridle for the horse, a yoke for the ox, a noose for the beast, a rod for the fish, a snare for the bird; this one governs and farms, rules and serves, and creates all things: He made the earth, the sky, the sea, and all the constellations with which the sky is crowned. O the divine creations, O the divine commandments: this water, let it surge within itself; this fire, let it contain its anger; this air, let it wander into the ether; and let the earth be fixed and be borne, whenever I wish. I still wish to mold man; I have the elements as matter.","structure":"narrative","commentary":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"Καὶ ἐν τούτῳ γιγνώσκομεν ὅτι ἐγνώκαμεν αὐτόν","severity":"info","text":"The opening sentence establishes a conditional epistemology: true knowledge of God is proven by obedience to his commandments, not by mere profession.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"term","kind":"term","basis":"text","lemma":"παιδαγωγίας","severity":"info","text":"The term 'pedagogy' here refers to the divine education of the soul through the Logos, a central concept in Clement's work.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"scripture","kind":"scripture","basis":"text","lemma":"τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ τηρῶμεν","severity":"info","text":"The emphasis on keeping commandments echoes Johannine and Pauline themes (e.g., 1 John 2:3-4; Romans 2:13), though no direct quotation is given.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"background","kind":"background","basis":"text","lemma":"Ἵππος ἄγεται χαλινῷ, καὶ ταῦρος ἄγεται ζυγῷ","severity":"info","text":"The imagery of taming animals with bridle, yoke, and noose is a common trope in Stoic and Platonic moral philosophy, adapted by Clement to illustrate the Logos's power over human passions.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"structure","kind":"structure","basis":"text","lemma":"Ὢ τῆς μακαρίου θρέμματα παιδαγωγίας","severity":"info","text":"This exclamation marks a rhetorical shift from argument to exhortation, a typical feature of protreptic discourse in Clement's style.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"text","lemma":"Ἄνθρωπον ἔτι πλάσαι βούλομαι","severity":"info","text":"The final lines, where the Logos declares intent to remold humanity, anticipate later Christian mystical interpretations of divine creativity and theosis.","cites":[{"key":"ed:khazarzar-clement-of-alexandria-paedagogus","label":"source edition: Paedagogus","url":"http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/pgm/PG_Migne/Clement%20of%20Alexandria_PG%2008-09/Paedagogus.pdf"}],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"ambiguities":["The phrase 'τὴν μακαρίαν δοξάζωμεν οἰκονομίαν' could refer either to the divine plan of salvation or to the ecclesiastical hierarchy; the reading here follows the former as more consistent with Clement's usage."],"confidence":"high","notes":[]},{"i":266,"ref":"p266","source":"συνοικῶ μου τῷ πλάσματι.
