New Fragments of Clement of Alexandria?


The eighteenth century scribe Isaac the humble collected the writings of various authors from the last fifteen hundred years. This comes at the end of an entry for Clement of Alexandria which reads: Έτεραι τινες ἀποσημειώσεις ἐκ τοῦ Α ' τόμου τοῦ Κλήμεντος ̓Αλεξανδρείας τοῦ Στρωμα τέως εἰς διάφορα συμβαλλόμενα or "Other notes from the first volume of Clement of Alexandria the Stromatist on various compositions." The citations are ordered Protrepticos (49, 104, 106, 108, 110), Paedagogos (1.1, 1.6, 3.1, 3.3, 3.3, 3.7, 3.11), Stromateis (1.11, 1.11, 1.11, 1.16, 1.21, 1.22, 1.23, 2.6, 2.2, 3.3, 3.3, 3.7, 3.7.12, 4.19, 4.25, 6.3, 6.15, 6.15, 7.18), Eclogae Propheticae (30) and then these three quotes. So according to the organization of the work they are not from main three books. If anyone has any better idea what they are or where they are from please comment! 

UPDATE: Cyril is citing from John Potter's 1715 edition of the works of Clement of Alexandria https://books.google.com/books?id=yPZWzgEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false which references very rare readings of Clement's works.
