It was quoted as Holy Scripture by the Fathers, and held to be divinely inspired, and it was publicly read in the churches. The two Epistles of Clement are only "preserved to us in the Codex Alexandrinus, a MS. assigned by the most competent judges to the second half of the fifth, or beginning of the sixth century, in which these Epistles follow the books of the New Testament.
"By my word, sir, but it's a good and appropriate name, sure enough," said Father Ned, surveying his enormous length; "success to me but you're an Alexandrine from head to foot non solum Longinus, sed Alexandrinus." "You're wrong, sir, in the Latin," said Father Peter. "Prove it, Peter prove it." "It should be non tantum, sir." "By what rule Pether?"
The learned, industrious, and pious Clemens, who, to distinguish him from Clemens of Rome, is usually called Clemens Alexandrinus, succeeded Pantænus in the catechetical school, and was at the same time a voluminous writer.

In 1631 "Whimzies, or, A new Cast of Characters" inscribed to Sir Alexander Radcliffe by one who signed his dedication Clitus Alexandrinus, gave twenty-four Characters, of which this of the maker of a Courant or news sheet is one: Is a state newsmonger; and his own genius is his intelligencer.
