The 634-644CE Sadducee leader of Tachkastan called [[Emir Ambrus]] adopted a belief in the Manichean Tripartite Jesus as a manifestation of the Archangel Metatron and subsequently some of the Mishnah which Jesus promoted. and which Emir Ambrus therefore incorporated into the Sadducee texts. His successor was a Manichean who abolished the original Sadducee texts in favour of a redacted version.
