Aye, and the article also mentions other possibilities. But I like the suggestion that soothsayers/magicians might have deliberately enhanced their cred by using the engraving to legitimise their supernatural powers - "by invoking the name of Christ"

He was widely known by that time as a master of miracle working apparently. Having a hotline to Jesus and broadcasting his word isn't unknown, even today...
