1 which, in footnote 39, List notes is
.a passage about Jesus’s family, is sufficiently biblical (and thus also sufficiently reverential). If it was good enough for [the] author of Matthew, it was certainly good enough for a Christian redactor of Josephus.
And note List's footnote 43:
Note that Origen uses the phrase λεγόμενος Χριστός elsewhere in his works and only in connection to individuals who are not Christians: Pilate (Cels. 1.2; Schol. in Mt. 17.308.11; cf. Matt 27.22) and the Samaritan women (Jo. 1.5.29; 1.21.126; cf. John 4.25), which is consistent with his usage in connection to Josephus.
What is your citation and full title for Origen, Schol. in Mt. 17.308.11? Not seen this one before. I'd also be interested in your citations for Origen, Jo as well. Specifically, just want to know what editions you are using.
They're not my citations: they're Nicholas List's, ie. in 'The Death of James the Just Revisited.' I'm keen to read them, too. I wonder if Schol. in Mt is a Latin title for Commentary on Matthew (and if it's where Origen has cited Matt. 1:16, or Matt. 27:17 or 27:22. I presume Jo is Commentary on John.
