"Chrestianos" (followers of Chrestus, a common Greek name)) just happens to be who Suetonius reported were causing trouble in the reign of Nero's immediate predecessor, Claudius. This finding brings Suetonius and Tacitus into agreement and also strongly suggests that the interpolation happened in the 15th century when the work was made available to the public.
