  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Agapius   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Comparing the Michael Syriac version with the Arabic Agapius version we find similarity in the assessment of Jesus* messiahship "he was thought to be the Messiah" (or "it seemed that he was the Messiah") and "he was perhaps the Messiah" which is the meaning close to the one in the Syriac version.
Agapius* text contains the statement in the last sentence, "accordingly, he was perhaps the Messiah, concerning whom the prophets have recounted wonders." This phrase is a fusion of two sentences, one in the middle and the other at the end of all other versions of the Testimonium.
Agapius in his chronicle claims that the quote on Jesus by Josephus comes from Josephus* work "On the Governance of the Jews" (or "On the Institutions of the Jews") which is identified by using another passage as the Antiquities of the Jews.

In an article he published that year, he brought to bear evidence from a previously ignored quotation of the TF in an Arabic text.
That text, KITAB AL-UNWAN, a tenth century historical work by Agapius (also called Mahboub) bishop of Hierapolis, had been twice published earlier in the century, but its import had somehow been overlooked.
Pines recognized immediately that Agapius' version tallied in at least one important detail with Origen's version of the TF.

 Jospehus interpolation, Jesus
We find in Agapius* version an omission of the positive and categorical statements about Jesus* supernatural power and status "if it is fitting to call him a man." Agapius* version states that Jesus was of good conduct and was virtuous.
Moreover, Agapius* text does not have the sentence about "the tribe [or people] of the Christians." Logically, it would fit in the context, but it could have been omitted by the Arabic translator.
Moreover, in the last sentence in Agapius* version, the prophecies refer to the figure of the Messiah and not to Jesus, as is stated in all other versions.

 Hypotyposeis: Olson, "Eusebius and the Testimonium Flavianum"
For example, Olson's handling of Agapius is less than satisfactory, because two of the three Meier interpolations are missing from the version preserved by Agapius, and the remaining one is less Christianized than the received text of Josephus.
Olson, however, dismisses Agapius in toto on the grounds that Agapius is not faithful enough of a transmitter to be relied upon, but this is not a sufficient criterion to eliminate Agapius from the stemma.
Thus, Agapius version is a prima facie witness to an earlier state of the Testimonium than the Byzantine archetype, possibly even earlier than that of Eusebius.

 Critique of Meier's A Marginal Jew
The Emmaus evidence, rather, indicates the Agapius text as a whole is likely to have been derived from the original Testimonium, one without Christian interpolations.
The Agapius text, in fact, supports the idea that the resurrection statement was in the original accompanied by a statement showing it is merely a report, not a belief of Josephus'.
In short, there is no solid reason to doubt the evidence of Agapius on this particular point of the resurrection passage; hence, its support of the Emmaus evidence stands.
