I am very curious about your view about this two arguments pro authenticity of the entire Testimonium Taciteum:
http://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2738&start=40#p63611

Do you think that they are sufficient to think that Tacitus wrote the Christ line in his passage about Chrestians ? Why?

Assuming that Tacitus wrote about Jesus, why do you think that his witness is to be considered probably not independent (and therefore of no value to prove historicity)?

Very thanks,
Giuseppe
