Back to the claim that Philo mentioned Pilate, and therefore should have also mentioned Jesus--

does Philo mention any other Jewish rebel leaders, or cult leaders? If not, why would he mention Jesus?

And don't presume that he would HAVE to mention Jesus because the gospels say that dead prophets got up and walked around when Jesus died. I mean "a historical Jesus" not the hagiographied Jesus of the NT.

If Jesus was a small-time leader of a Galilean Jewish sect, and was only briefly in Jerusalem, why would Philo mention him?
