Patristic A.D. 253
“Or, Pilate spoke this affirmatively, as he afterwards wrote in the inscription, The King of the Jews. By answering to the Chief Priest, Thou hast said, He indirectly reproved his doubts, but now He turns Pilate’s speech into an affirmative, Jesus saith unto him, Thou sayest it.”
