[13.6] The passages I. Petri iv. 16, and James ii. 7, compared with Suet. Nero 16, and with Tac. Ann. xv. 44, confirm this idea. See also Acts xxvi. 28.
[13.7] It is true that we find Ἀσιανός (Acts xx. 4; Philo. Legatio, 36; Strabo, etc.). But it seems to be a Latinism like Δαλδιανοί, and the names of the sects Σιμωνιανοί, Κηρινθιανοί, Σηθιανοί, etc. The Greek derivative χριστός had been χριστειος. It serves nothing to say that the termination anus is a Doric form of the Greek ηνος; this was not known at all during the first century.
[13.8] Tac. (loc. cit.) so interprets it.
[13.9] Suet. Claud. 25. We shall discuss this passage in our next book.
