I saw an absract last week somewhere online for a thesis going the other way around, that Adversus Iudaeos is a compilation from Adversus Marcionem and other works of Tertullian. Too bad I didn't save the link for you.

Why do you think this is a real dialogue? Is it not obvious that its a fictional dialogue? That the Catholic author artificially makes the pagan arbiter agree with Catholicism in a way totally absurd? That he makes the Marcionite look stupid on purpose? Where did you get the notion that this is an actual transcript of an actual debate?
