Can someone find this reference?
The name of a criminal and thief named Chresti mentioned by Cicero in Epistolae ad Familiares book 2, epistle 8, section 1.
Thanks in advance.
A Christian interpolator would have trasposed the riotous activity of this Chresti from Cicero's time to Claudius's time, previous the his partial transformation in Chresto.

This?
Epistles to Friends 2.8.1a: 1a Quid? Tu me hoc tibi mandasse existimas ut mihi gladiatorum compositiones, ut vadimonia dilata et Chresti compilationem mitteres et ea quae nobis cum Romae sumus narrare nemo audeat? / [Loeb translation:] 1a Well! Do you really think that this is what I commissioned you to do, to send me reports of "the gladiatorial pairs," "the adjournment of trials," "burglary by Chrestus," and such tittle-tattle as nobody would have the impertinence to repeat to me when I am at Rome?
Wow! You are so talented at ancient textual analysis that apparently you can devise a theory of textual interrelationship without having even yet consulted the evidence.Thanks in advance.
