"To a Nasoraean the human body is a replkica of the glorious cosmic Body, the holiest of mysteries, and every organ in it, including those necessary to digestion, reproduction, and evacuation, has for him deep symbolical significance and is revered as an expression of the Divine chemistry of genesis, purification, and catharsis."

Theodoret likewise describes them (Nazaraeans) as nothing more than simply a post-Christian continuation of the pre-Christian Nasoraeans
In Jewish writings, although the term Notzrim came to be applied to Christians it actually pre-dates Jesus by at least a century and has the same meaning as Nasoraioi (watchers/guardians) described as fallen angels in the book of Jubilees.
