Stromata
Patriarch interpreted as 'mighty', portrayed as diligently examining before acting.
You may also have another image of what has been said in Tamar, who sat at the crossroads and gave the appearance of a harlot, whom the learning-loving Judah (and "Judah" is interpreted "mighty"), leaving nothing unexamined and unsearched, looked upon and turned aside to her, keeping his confession toward God.
De Cultu Feminarum
Biblical patriarch who, deceived by Tamar's dress and veil, propositions her as a harlot
That Tamar, because she had painted and adorned herself, was for that reason seen by Judah's suspicion to be sitting—and so far did she lie hidden under a veil, the quality of her dress belying a harlot, that he both wished her and accosted her as a harlot and bargained with her.
De Pudicitia
Son of Jacob, whose union with Tamar is cited as a test case.
Now you will pardon incests too, on account of Lot, and fornications joined with incest, on account of Judah, and shameful marriages from prostitution, on account of Hosea, and not only frequented ones, but even several at once, on account of our fathers.
