The work thus assigned to Hippolytus, (evidently on the strength of the heading,—Διατάξεις τῶν ἀυτῶν ἁγίων Ἀποστόλων περὶ χειροτονιῶν, διὰ Ἱππολύτου,) is part of the “Octateuchus Clementinus,” concerning which Lagarde has several remarks in the preface to his _Reliquiæ Juris Ecclesiastici Antiquissimæ_, 1856. The composition in question extends from p. 5 to p. 18 of the last-named publication. The exact correspondence between the “Octateuchus Clementinus” and the Pseudo-Apostolical Constitutions will be found to extend no further than the single chapter (the ivth) specified in the text. In the meantime the fragment περὶ χαρισμάτων (containing S. Mark xvi. 17, 18,) is identical throughout. It forms the first article in Lagarde’s _Reliquiæ_, extending from p. 1 to p. 4, and is there headed Διδασκαλία τῶν ἁγίων Ἁποστόλων περὶ χαρισμάτων. _ 36 Ad fin._ See Routh’s _Opuscula_, i. p. 80. 37 For which reason I cordially subscribe to Tischendorf’s remark (ed. 8va. p. 407), “Quod idem [Justinus] Christum ἀνεληλυθόντα εἰς τοὺς οὐράνους dicit, [_Apol._ I. c. 50?] minus valet.” 38 “In nomine meo manum imponite, daemonia expellite,” (Cyprian Opp. p. 237 [_Reliqq. Sacr._ iii. p. 124,] quoting S. Mark xvi. 17, 18,)—“_In nomine meo daemonia ejicient ... super egrotos manus imponent_ et bene habebunt.” _ 39 Responsa ad Episcopos_, c. 44, (_Reliqq._ v. 248.) _ 40 Evangelia Apocrypha_, ed. Tischendorf, 1853, pp. 243 and 351: also _Proleg._ p. lvi. 41 In _l._ vii. _c._ 7 (_ad fin._),—λαβόντες ἐντολὴν παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ κηρύξαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον εἰς ὅλον τὸν κόσμον: and in _l._ viii. _c._ 1,—ἡμῖν τοῖς ἀποστόλοις μέλλουσι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καταγγέλλειν πάσῃ τῇ κτίσει. Observe, this immediately follows the quotation of verses 17, 18. _ 42 Lib._ vi. _c._ 15.—The quotation (at the beginning of _lib._ viii.) of the 17th and 18th verses, has been already noticed in its proper place. _Supra_, p. 24. 43 Scrivener’s _Introduction_, p. 421. _ 44 Apud_ Hieron. _Opp. ed._ Vallars., ii. 951-4. 45 See Dr. Wright’s ed. of “Aphraates,” (4to. 1869.) i. p. 21.
