Of this Clement, then, one acknowledged epistle is extant, great and admirable, which he drew up in the name of the church of Rome to the church of the Corinthians, when a faction had arisen at Corinth at that time. And we know that this epistle has been publicly read in very many churches in common, both in former times and in our own. And that the faction at Corinth was stirred up in the time indicated, Hegesippus is a competent witness.
