Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. Certainly, I have a lot of
unravelling to do, as Pat Sloane noted. It appears that there is more to
be discovered about Orosius' distinction between Christ's genealogy (his
gens, or tribus, as it were) and his citizenship. I will pursue the
leads you offered, and report back. Thank you all again for your
generous input.
