Mardaites
The Mardaites (Medieval Greek: Μαρδαΐται; Arabic: المَرَدة) or al-Jarajima (Syriac: ܡܪ̈ܕܝܐ; Arabic: جَرَاجِمَة/ALA-LC: Jarājimah) were early Christians following Chalcedonian Christianity in the Nur Mountains. Little is known about their ethnicity, but it has been speculated that they might have been Persians (see, for a purely linguistic hypothesis, the Amardi, located south of the Caspian Sea in classical times) with other theories placing them as Armenians or even Greeks native to the Levant.
