On a quest to investigate the race and appearance of Jesus I have run into serveral neo-nazi sites citing Valleus (sic?) Paterculus as describing him as having "golden coloured hair and beard", the most complete version of this I could find was in this source here:
It seems like a highly fanciful story in my eyes, this depiction seems to concur suspicously well with later depictions of christ, but I came here looking for mention of this work and this writing and found none, so I'm leaving this suggestion in the talk page so that someone may one day add this into the main article with authority. 86.28.194.198 ( talk) 14:37, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
Article says:
This requires explanation, for many editions of it follow that statement & apparently preserve the text not in a single manuscript, but several. Are you saying that all the editions extant are derived from that lost manuscript?
The article refers to the Loeb classics (Red) Latin / English edition. But there also exists a green Greek Loeb edition. That mystified me. How did a Greek edition come about? For those who don't know the Loeb Classical Library, these little books have red Latin authors facing English translation page by page, with Greek authors facing English translation in green books.( PeacePeace ( talk) 21:55, 5 June 2018 (UTC))
