No one in antiquity cites the Tacitus reference, not xtian, not pagan. Much like the Testimonium Flavianum it appears to be a much later forgery. Part of it appears in a 5th century work called Chronica by Sulpicius Severus but without the "Pilate the procurator" reference which xtians like to wrap their scrotums around. Severus does not cite Tacitus as his source, either, which gives the impression that he was the original author of the piece.

Agreed but every apologist has basically the same line of shit, no matter how they say it. It basically works this way....
