Clement's Identification of the Rich Youth as a Tax Gatherer

I have noted that Quis Dives Salvetur implies that the Zacchaeus narrative 'explains' the true meaning of Mark 10:17 - 31. I have made the argument that Clement must have been using a Diatessaronic gospel to develop this argument (because the equivalent of Luke 19:1 - 10 always follows Mark 10:17 - 31 in those narratives. I have also speculated that Zacchaeus (a name which means 'pure' or 'righteous') is indeed the very same 'rich youth' who appears in the earlier narrative only now 'purified' or 'made righteous' through baptism. I want to make a 'mental note to self' that Clement implies as much in Stromata 5:5 when he writes "Wherefore also the Word says that the tax-gatherers shall be saved with difficulty." The text actually only says 'rich.' The specific profession of the rich youth must have been implied from the connection with the Zacchaeus narrative (see Quis Dives Salvetur for a lengthy development of this argument).
