page 310 note 1 No doubt, Tertullian connects the birth of Christ with a taxing under Sentius Saturninus—adv. Marcionem, iv. 19—and this Saturninus was governor of Syria some years before Herod died. But here Tertullian can only be misquoting Justin, who uses the same expressions about the taxing under Quirinius, apologia, i. 34. And elsewhere Tertullian puts the birth of Christ fifteen years before the death of Augustus—adv. Judaeos, 8—thus putting it in 2 B.C., fully two years after the death of Herod.
