Agreed.  Also, the question presupposes that Paul knew where he was
talking about the Antioch incident and where he was talking to /
applying it to the Galatians.  But Paul's point in telling that story
is to relate it directly to the Galatians' situation, to make that
incident and Paul's rebuke "present" in the hearing of the Galatians.
So does Paul actually even think in terms of where he is quoting
himself and where he is not?  Rather, if one thinks in terms of the
rhetoric of the letter, he is beginning with the incident, making
present his response to Peter, and continuing to make it present and
relevant in the hearing of the Galatians, in a speech to the Galatians
that continues all the way to the end of the chapter, and beyond.
