42; and still more probably
perhaps "qui est absconsorum cognitor" in IV. xxxv. 2 has its origin in
this same verse.
CLEMENT or ALEXANDRIA (?? 220). In _Strom._ IV. (Heinsius' ed., Paris,
1629, p. 522) he speaks of Susanna and Miriam together, as if their
biblical positions were on a par. In Hort and Mayor's edit. (1902) of
_Strom._ VII. the words ??????? ?„??†?‚ ???µ??????µ?‰?‚ in ?§ 37 are referred to Susanna
43 (??); but it is hardly safe to assume that we have here more than an
accidental approximation of wording.
HIPPOLYTUS (?? 230) distinctly recognizes Susanna at the end of his
_Preface to Daniel_, as well as in his _Commentary_ itself. This last,
Bardenhewer (Freiburg im Breisgau, 1877, p. 69) deems, on account of its
homiletic phrases, to be "Bruchst??cke einer Homilie" (_cf._ art.
_Hippolytus, D.C.B._ iii. 102a).
APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTIONS (third century?). Susanna's trial is instanced
in II. 49, "Concerning accusers and witnesses" (_see_ quotation under
'Canonicity,' p. 161), and again in cap. 51.
TERTULLIAN (?? 240).
