Note 1341 — Chapter X · ORPHIC MYSTERIES. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Clem. Al. Protr. 16 Σαβαζίων γοῦν μυστηρίων σύμβολον τοῖς μυουμένοις ὁ διὰ κόλπου θεός. δράκων δέ ἐστιν οὗτος διελκόμενος τοῦ κόλπου τῶν τελουμένων ἔλεγχος ἀκρατίας Διός. The meaning of διὰ κόλπου and with it ὑπὸ κόλπου is sufficiently evident from this passage. Any possible doubt is removed by the use of ὑπὸ κόλπου in Lucian’s Alexander c. 39.
