According to the Teliya, in 86CE the Sanhedrin and Herod Agrippa II decided that it would be best if the Notzrim would fall under [[Apollyon]] so ordered [[Hakham Elijah]] ([[Rav Shimeon HaKalpus]]) to fulfil Devarim 32:21 by organising the [[Ishmaelim]] in such a way as to make the Notzrim jealous and thereby attract them away from Israel's Qehal to be subsumed into Noahide Judaism instead of allowing them to invoke HaShem's wrath by letting them continue to identify as Jews. The good intention of the Jews has been much maligned by the enemies of traditional Judaism.

As a result, despite its correct application, the word Notzrim soon came to be synonymous with Christians. Nevertheless, although Notzrim came out of the Royalists who followed the Sions ([[Netzarim]]) of the House of David, they originally had no connection to either Tertullus' description of Paul, nor to the later 4th Century [[Nazoraioi]].

Not much is known about the Notzrim before the 1st century BCE when King Yanneus Alexander is also mentioned in connection with the spread of Notzrut under the doctrine of two students of Antigonus of Sokko called Sadduc and Boethus who founded the sect of the Sadducees and Boethusians when Alexander forcibly converted the remnant of Edom to the Sadducee faith. Judah ben Tabbai is hinted at as a student of Joshua ben Perachia who went to Egypt and brought back students who began to worship the Baetylus.

[[Pliny the Elder]] mentioned a people called the "'''Nazerini'''" in his ''[[Natural History (Pliny)|Historia Naturalis]]'' (Book V,22).<ref>Plinii naturalis historia: Libri I-VII ed. Francesco Della Corte - 1984 "Nunc interiora dicantur. Coele habet Apameam Marsya amne divisam a Nazerinorum tetrarchia, Bambycen quae alio nomine ... In Cele si trova Apamea, divisa dalla tetrarchia dei Nazerini dal fiume Marsia, Bambice, che con altro nome..."</ref> He indicates<ref>Pliny the Elder, ''Natural Histories'' Book V, recopying reports drafted by Marcus Agrippa on the orders of Emperor Octavian Augustus Caesar.</ref> that they lived not far from Apamea, in Syria in a city called Bambyx, Hierapolis or Mabog.
