Note 165 — Chapter II
Neil Buchanan translation
Footnote 165:

Origen, who is Augustine's equal in other respects also, and who anticipated many of the problems considered by the latter, anticipated prophetically this Father's view of the City of God—of course as a hope (c. Cels. viii. 68 f). The Church is also viewed as το κατα Θεον πολιτευμα in Euseb., H. E. V. Præf. § 4, and at an earlier period in Clement.
