SOME SAY that *“The earliest attestation of a positive tradition about Pilate comes from the late first, early second-century Christian author Tertullian, who, claiming to have seen Pilate’s report to Tiberius, states Pilate had ‘become already a Christian in his conscience.’” That narrative becomes stronger in the eastern expression of Catholicism by the 8 th -9 th centuries A.D., but in the west, it has always been downplayed.
