Tertullian
“No doubt he blames him; but it was solely because of his inconsistency in the matter of “eating,” which he varied according to the sort of persons (whom he associated with) “fearing them which were of the circumcision,” but not on account of any perverse opinion touching another god.” — editor's note: Victus: see Gal. ii. 12; or, living, see ver. 14.
