re: #24 Cato the Elder

(Back in the eighties there was a “project” — I believe it was called the “Jesus Project” and the goal was to find all those statements made by Jesus which could be “authenticated.” Their methodology was hilarious, iirc. They kept weeding out statements, until they boiled it down to a dozen or so “authentic” utterances..Last I heard they wanted to do a similar “project” for the deeds of Jesus…boil that down..)
