The PLRE advises us to look up "JJP 13 (1961) 109–22". What is JJP? The Journal of Juristic Papyrology?

On past studies of the comparison of Apollonius to Christ, Barnes cites (at "Soss." 239 n. 2):

F. Faulhaber, Die griechischen Apologeten der klassischen Vdterzeit. I. Buch: Eusebius von Casarea (Diss. Wiirzburg 1895) io8ff.
H. Doergens, Theologie und Glaube 25 (1933) 292ff.
G. Petzke, Die Traditionen uber Apollonius von Tyana und das Neue Testament (1970) 6ff.

Having no German and no access to German academic sources, of course, these are useless to me.
