 orion HIPPOLYTUS: THE ESSENE TEXT
Since Hippolytus was writing (or collecting) AFTER Josephus, and since the Hippolytus material has MORE detail than Josephus does, it is easy for me to see them both borrowing from some earlier source.
What was the recent arrival (at Rome) of the strange spirit Elchasai, and that there served as a concealment of his peculiar errors his apparent adhesion to the law, when in point of fact he devotes himself to the tenets of the Gnostics, or even of the astrologists, and to the arts of sorcery.
And from these very explanations the condemnation of the heretics is obvious, for having either purloined their doctrines, or derived contributions to them from some of those tenets elaborately worked out by the Greeks, and for having advanced (these opinions) as if they originated from God.

 Hippolytus's Bodies - Page 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Although scholars have traditionally assumed Hippolytus wrote The Apostolic Tradition circa 215 in Rome, grounds for the work's authorship, dating, and province are very weak.2 Since only a few Greek fragments survive and because the various textual traditions are so divergent, any reconstruction of an original text is extremely speculative.
For my main arguments, it is of little concern if this vision was formed by Hippolytus in third century Rome or by a group of ancient arm-chair anthropologists separated from each other in both time and space.
Regardless of whether the present body of texts reflects actual community practice or is simply the esoteric musings of early academicians, it illustrates the connection-in thought or practice-between the social body and the physical body.
