Thus the Clementine writer calls John a 'Hemerobaptist,' i.e.member of a sect which practised daily baptism [Endnote 167:1].

He talks about a rumour which became current in the reign of Tiberius about the 'vernal equinox,' that at the same season a king should arise in Judaea who should work miracles, making the blind to see, the lame to walk, healing every disease, including leprosy, and raising the dead; in the incident of the Canaanite woman (whom, with Mark, he calls a Syrophoenician) he adds her name, 'Justa,' and that of her daughter 'Bernice;' he also limits the ministry of our Lord to one year [Endnote 168:1].

Otherwise, with the exception of the sayings marked as without parallel, all of the Clementine quotations have a more or less close resemblance to our Gospels.
We are struck at once by the small amount of exact coincidence, which is considerably less than that which is found in the quotations from the Old Testament.

The proportion seems lower than it is, because many of the passages that have been entered in the above list do not profess to be quotations.

Another phenomenon equally remarkable is the extent to which the writer of the Homilies has reproduced the peculiarities of particular extant Gospels.
