Nowhere does he introduce a man simply by his name, as in just Jesus, minus the "called Christ" part, and then later refer to the same man with more specificity, as in Jesus, son of Damneus. It's always the other way around.
So are you saying that "son of Damneus" is an interpolation?
No, it's a different Jesus. One who didn't have a brother who was thrown off the temple parapet and then finished off by a fuller's baton in 62 CE.
