Clement: Mild, a Christian of Philippi, Paul's "fellow-labourer," whose name he
mentions as "in the book of life"
(Philippians 4:3) It was an opinion of
ancient writers that he was the Clement of Rome whose name is well
known in church history, and that he was the author of an Epistle to
the Corinthians, the only known manuscript of which is appended to
the Alexandrian Codex, now in the British Museum. It is of some
historical interest, and has given rise to much discussion among
critics. It makes distinct reference to Paul's First Epistle to the
Corinthians.
