Also known as Mandaeans (Gnostics). The synthesis of a variety of Judaic sources demonstrates that '''Notzrim''' (נוצרים) were poligamous royalist Israelite Minim who trampled the Torah-for-Qehal while secretly venerating the [[Baetylus]] on Sundays. Their politics caused much strife in Israel for 30 years after their ring-leader Ben Stada was executed in 56CE for spreading Gnosticism among his Karaite supporters in Beit Shammai.
The singular form is '''Notzri'''. In Aramaic they call themselves '''Nāṣorāyi'''.
