Conveniently left out here is that the "Jesus" being referred to is named as "Jesus bar (son of) Damneus" - Damneus being the high priest. The "who was called Christ" of the text is another of those pesky suspect interpolations, depending on the TF passage entirely for its veracity.
I ask again, why the reliance on - even existence of - forged or similarly questionable sources if there's meant to be genuine contemporary evidence out there?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
