"In his Apology, Justin Martyr calls his coreligionists Chrestians. And so it was for three centuries. To quote from Massey: "In Bockh's Christin Inscriptions, numbering 1287, there is not a single instance of an earlier date than the third century wherein the name is not written Chrest or Chreist." This was changed by those "who added or removed what seemed good to them in the work of correction," as Origen said." Page 411.
