[13.5] _Acts_ xi. 26.

[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.

[13.11] James ii. 7, only implies an occasional usage.

[13.13] _Nesârâ._ The names of _meschihoio_ in Syriac, _mesihi_ in
Arabic, are relatively modern, and outlined from χριστιανός.
The name of "Galileans" is much more recent. Julian gave it
an official signification. Jul. _Epist._ vii.; Gregory,
Orat. iv. (Invect. i.), 76; S. Cyrille d'Alex. _Contre Julien_
ii. p. 39, (Spanheim ed.); _Philopatris_, dialogue falsely
attributed to Lucian, though really of the time of Julien,
§ 12; Theodoret _Hist. Eccl._ iii. 4. I believe that in
Epictetus (Arrien, _Dissert._ iv., vii., 6) and in Marcus
Aurelius (_Pensées_ xi. 3), this name does not designate
Christians, but rather "assassins" (_Sicaires_), fanatical
disciples of Judas the Galilean or the Gaulonite, and of
John of Gisehala.

[13.22] It places this vision fourteen years before he wrote the
second Epistle to the Corinthians, which dates about the year
57. It is not impossible, however, that he was still at Tarsus.

[13.33] The book of _Acts_ (xi. 30; xii. 25) includes Paul in this
journey. But Paul declares that between his first sojourn of
two weeks and his journey for the affair of the circumcision,
he did not visit Jerusalem. (Gal. ii. 1.) See Introduction.
