Caryn Reeder – The Samaritan Woman’s Story after #ChurchToo
OnScript
John Chrysostom and the Samaritan Woman
Tertullian refers to the woman twice once he calls her multiple adulterer because she'd been married so many times. Tertullian is in this particular work. He's arguing that a Christian can only be married once ever and for the rest of your life, you are married to your first spouse.

In another writing, he calls her a prostitute because once you've had so many husbands, clearly you might as well just be counted as a prostitute.
