This letter by Julius Africanus critiques and questions the authenticity of the disputed section of the Book of Daniel, specifically the prophecy of Susanna, arguing that it is a modern forgery.
He provides detailed theological, linguistic, and historical evidence to demonstrate inconsistencies and differences in style, language, and context that suggest the passage was added later and not part of the original biblical text.
Africanus appeals to Origen for further discussion and concludes with respectful salutations, emphasizing the importance of discerning genuine scripture from interpolations.
