Nazoraean

Nazoraean is the designation given to a first century offshoot of Nazarene Judaism by Epiphanius. Their distinguishing characteristics are that they believed Jesus to have been a Kohan and a Nazirite. Filaster uses the term Nazorei to refer to the Nasoraeans which seems to have been the post-Jesus continuation of that sect. Theodoret likewise describes them (Nazaraeans) as nothing more than simply a post-Christian continuation fo the pre-Christian Nasoraeans.
