[15.45] This gross blunder could not have been detected without the discovery of the _Philosophumena_, which alone contains extracts from the _Apophasis magna_ (VI. i. 19). Tyre was celebrated for its courtezans. [15.46] Ἐχθρὸς ἄνθρωπος, ἀντικείμενος. See Homil. Pseudo-Clem. hom. xvii. passim. [15.47] Thus in the Pseudo-Clementine literature, the name of Simon the Magician indicates sometimes the apostle Paul, against whom the writer had a spite. [15.48] It may be observed that in _Acts_, he is not treated as an enemy, but only reproached as of low sentiments, and room is left for repentance, (viii, 24). Perhaps Simon was living when those lines were written, and his relations to Christianity had not yet become absolutely hostile. {15.49} {Jos., _Ant._, XX, vii., 1.} CHAPTER XVI.

[16.6] The author of Acts, being a partisan of the hierarchy and of church-domination, has perhaps inserted this circumstance. Paul knew nothing of any such ordination or consecration. He received his commission from Christ, and did not consider himself any more especially the envoy of the church of Antioch than of that of Jerusalem. [16.7] _Acts_ xiii. 3; xiv. 25. [16.8] In I.
