From the interpolations in Josephus it must be understood that writings that were composed in the 1st century by Josephus were mutilated by fraud at least 150 years later.

I expect that "Church History" attributed to Eusebius is itself mutilated solely to DECEIVE.

When Julian asked his readers to present Well-known writers who wrote about Jesus and Paul the challenge implies that Josephus was NOT known to have written about Jesus or Paul and also that Tacitus did NOT write any thing about Jesus or Paul.

[Examine "Against the Galileans"] Why did Julian ask his readers such a question if he was aware of Tacitus Annals, Josephus Antiquities, Eusebius Church History and Origen "Against Celsus and Commentary on Matthew.

The answer is obvious they forgeries may not have been carried when Julian lived but after he was dead.

For that matter I don't buy the authenticity of Justin references to Mary and Pilate especially given the fact that his proofs for his Christ are always from the Hebrew Scriptures and never from any other clearly identifiable source.....
