Early Christian....

[Cronos]

From Dura Europos, a city on the east bank of the Tigris that was smothered by the Sassanids in 256 AD -- the Church and it's paintings date from the late 190s to early 200s with the latest dating to just after the Decian persecutions

Indeed, according to this webpage that is a "3rd century fresco of baby Moses' rescue from the bullrushes in Egypt. From the Dura Europos synagogue, Damascus, Syria."

[Elsie]

Well...

Pharoh was a pagan, and ROME usurped pagan things to use in Christianity; so therefore terycarl will believe what ever ROME says on the subject.

Title / Description: Infancy of Moses
Object Location: Damascus National Museum
Provenance: Dura Europos, Syria
Object Type: image - painting
Date: 3rd c. CE

Commentary: The panel depicts episodes from the life of Moses. On the left, an attendant of Pharaoh's daughter lifts Moses from the basket which has been floating on the Nile. Pharaoh's daughter, then hands the infant to another figure, Moses's mother, to be nursed (Exod 2:5-10). The central portion of the panel apparently shows Pharaoh's daughter presenting her son to Pharaoh. Two women stand over the young man doing homage to the seated figure on the right, who is no doubt Pharaoh. They wear clothing identical to the women in the left panel. The woman in golden colored garments is probably Pharaoh's daughter; the woman beside her is probably the mother of Moses. The scene dramatically expands Exod 2:10.

The third portion of the panel, on the right, shows an open gateway, perhaps symbolic of Moses' flight to Midian (Exod 2:11-15). For a general description of the synagogue and further bibliography see Assembly Room. Author of Commentary: Harold Attridge Source: Goodenough, Erwin R.

strictly from a historical point of view you have

1. Tertulian in 197 AD writing

But if there be any (heresies) which are bold enough to plant themselves in the midst of the apostolic age, that they may thereby seem to have been handed down by the apostles, because they existed in the time of the apostles, we can say: Let them produce the original records of their churches; let them unfold the roll of their bishops, running down in due succession from the beginning in such a manner that [that first bishop of theirs ] bishop shall be able to show for his ordainer and predecessor some one of the apostles or of apostolic men,— a man, moreover, who continued steadfast with the apostles.

For this is the manner in which the apostolic churches transmit their registers: as the church of Smyrna, which records that Polycarp was placed therein by John; as also the church of Rome, which makes Clement to have been ordained in like manner by Peter.

[Elsie]

Let them produce the original records of their churches;

So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander.
