Rufin d'Aquilée
It is unlikely that Clement I was the author of the extant "Recognitiones"; these are extant chiefly in a Latin translation, presumably out of the original Greek, made by Tyrannius Rufinus in the late fourth or early fifth century. The passage of Pseudo-Clement stands within a Western Christian tradition of satire against the variety of minor deities worshipped by classical pagans; similar passages exist in "The City of God" by Saint Augustine of Hippo, and Tertullian's "Ad Nationes".
