There's a miscommunication here. I was speaking to Alan's question about how
to geometrically interpret the components of a transformation matrix.
If the question is what translations to use in order to generate a rotation
around an arbitrary point p, then there's no question: the sequence of
operations is translation by -p, then rotation, then translation by p.

That is a counter-clockwise rotation.
