Hi Chuck,
the first mention of the term "Nazarenes" by the church fathers was in the year 376 in a document called Panarion!
Before they called the first Christians "Ebionites", p.e. Origen in his fifth book of Contra Celsum, chapt.61, written in 248AD!
It is not me who is mixing up things here, maybe you did not know this?
Kind regards
Michael
