Abstract
Summary Paul's address on the Areopagus is one of the very few examples of quotation from extra-biblical sources. This well-known quotation from Aratus has occasioned the author of the present essay to assess its influence in the Jewish-Christian tradition. Four different authors hold pride of place: Aristobulos, the Jewish apologist; the author of Acts of the Apostles; Clement of Alexandria; and Theophilus of Antioch. The method of this essay aims at a formal approch to the texts, thus leaving the contentual data of these texts, so disparate among themselves, somewhat in the background. It is the author's contention that such formal aspects can provide important cues in the interpretation of texts, especially when the latter contain quotations.
