IROC;

Not that any or all of these can be verified, but a five minute search came up with the following listing of historical writers who refer to "Christ" or to the "Christians" in a historical manner:

Josephus (37-100 AD)

Tacitus (55-117 AD..in his "Annals")

Suetonius (69 140 AD)

Julius Africanus (160 - 240 AD)

Origen (185-254 AD)

Pliny the Younger (62 - 113 AD)

Thallus (Samaritan historian)

Mara-Serapion (in a letter to his son 73 AD)

It would take more effort than I am willing to exert to actually verify any of these as truly authentic, only that they are listed on a number of sites from Christian to athiest, with various interpretations of their meanings which would be expected, given that some want to prove and some want to disprove.
