Have you heard that "Christus" is also believed to be an interpolation? https://www.ex-christian.net/topic/65072-richard-carrier-christ-in-tacitus-may-be-inter

  I wasn't familiar with Carrier’s claim to that effect, but it doesn't seem to have widespread acceptance and seems (from the secondhand description you provide) to ignore what seems to be generally accepted from outside evidence about the term “Chrestianos”.

    There’s evidence to the contrary as well. The jury is still out on who the Chrestianos refers to. Honestly, I need to look into it more myself. But it asks the question, why would someone change it in the first place? Not to mention the word Christus is also a forgery. I am open to being wrong, just thought you should know these are forgeries.
