Re: Pontius Pilate

Carrier's comment on the procurator-prefect issue re Pilate in On the Historicity of Jesus , p. 345 However, we must dismiss the argument that Tacitus can’t have been citing government records because he gets the office of Pilate wrong, mis-identifying him as a procurator when in fact he was a pref...
