Peter Kirby, above, in part:
"Is Acts 24:5 based on anything? Was there a sect with a name like this?"
Relevant to this question is the third-century Persian inscription of the Zoroastrian priest Kartir, who was intolerant of other religions. Kartir condemned, among others, "...Jews...and Nazarai, and Christians...." (lines 9-10, Chaumont)--taken to mean three separate religions, along with, e.g., Buddhists.
