Yet in the single medieval manuscript we have for Tacitus' Annals the word in question was apparently "Chrestianos" (followers of Chrestus) not "Christianos" (followers of Christus) which puts Tacitus into agreement with Suetonius who wrote of "Chrestus" causing trouble in Rome during the reign of Claudius.
Surely you've heard this? A couple of years back there was an ultraviolet test of the manuscript showing that a copyist had changed the word "Chrestianos" to "Christianos."
