Eupolemus (Fragments)

Current State of the OCP Text

The surviving Greek fragments of Eupolemos are presented here as cited in Eusebius (quoting Alexander Polyhistor, On the Jews) and Clement of Alexandria. The text is drawn from the standard critical editions of these two writers (see below). The fragments appear as follows, numbered according to Holladay's modification of Denis' scheme:

Fragment 1a	Clement of Alexandria, Stromata 1.23.153.4
Fragment 1b	Eusebius, Praep. Evang. 9.25.4-26.1
Fragment 2a	Clement of Alexandria, Stromata 1.21.130.3
Fragment 2b	Eusebius, Praep. Evang. 9.30.1-34.18
Fragment 3	Eusebius, Praep. Evang. 9.34.20
Fragment 4	Eusebius, Praep. Evang. 9.39.1-5
Fragment 5	Clement of Alexandria, Stromata 1.21.141.4-5
