   2007, William Tabbernee, Fake Prophecy and Polluted Sacraments: Ecclesiastical and Imperial Reactions to Montanism, Koninklijke Brill (Brill), page 268, Even Augustine's contact with the Tertullianists appears to have been slight. Could Augustine's assessment of the Tertullianists, therefore, have been inaccurate?

   Augustine's indication that Tertullian himself founded the Tertullianists as a splinter group from the Carthaginian Montanists is unlikely. It is possible that the term ‘Tertullianist’ was a synonym for African Montanists, or that the Tertullianists were a sect within Carthaginian Montanism, or even that the Tertullianists did not identify themselves as Montanists at all.
