A 13th - century text pretending to be a letter by a certain Publius Lentulus to the Roman Senate gives a description of the physical appearance of Jesus, saying that he had “hair of the hue of an unripe hazel - nut [light brown] and smooth almost down to his ears, but from the ears in curling locks somewhat darker and more shining, waving over (from) his shoulders; having a parting at the middle of the head..., a full beard of the colour of his hair, not long, but a little forked at the chin;... the eyes grey... and clear. ”
sajandist pärit tekst, mis pretendeerib kellegi Publius Lentuluse kirjale, mis on mõeldud Rooma senatile, toob ära kirjelduse Jeesuse välimuse kohta, väites, et ” peaaegu kõrvadeni oli ta juus küpsemata sarapuupähkli värvi [helepruun] ja sile, kõrvadest allpool aga lokkis ja veidi tumedam ning säravam, langedes lainetena õlgadele; juus oli keskelt lahus.., täishabe juuste värvi, mitte eriti pikk, vaid lõual veidi harali;.. silmad hallid.. ja kirkad ”.
