Is it true that Greeks and Romans did refer to Christians as ‘god-eaters’ (theophages)?

As early Christians religiously did perform ritual kannibalism and theophagy by eating the flesch and drinking the blood of divine Christ, did as early as during ancient greek and roman times the term theophagy appear in texts in context with christianity? Is there a record?
