Yes, it looks like the second volume of Cyril's Against Julian, containing books 6-10, was published in 2017 and is available in libraries. I'm away on holiday at the moment and won't be checking it soon.

I think the passage I posted is probably the passage to which Watson and Weill-Raynal refer from book 6 as their claim could plausibly derived from that and it's the only passage in the Neumann/Wright edition of Julian's Against the Christians (which they extracted from Cyril) that could plausibly serve. If there's another passage, we'd have to think Neumann or Cave Wright omitted it in their reconstruction of Julian's text from Cyril.

Best,

if I am correct, Josephus read the TF in Eusebius but he denied his presence in Josephus.
Dave Allen thinks that his denial was a lie. I don't.

I presume you mean, “.. *Julian* read the TF in Eusebius but denied its presence in Josephus” ?.

yes, right.

Here is the quotation of Julian from Cyril of Alexandria's Against Julian, Book 6 (6.31), as given in the recent GCS edition:

Kyrill von Alexandrien I, Gegen Julian, Teil 2: Buch 6-10 Und Fragmente, Herausgeben Wolfram Kinzig und Thomas Brüggerman (Berlin: De Gruyter 2017) 452-453.

Best,

Ken

the verse 15 appears to be the same passage as quoted by you from the link available online in English.
But in the other passages, I see oudamou. Sure that it is not another form of a denial (that Jesus was known etc) ?
