Abstract: Some scholars notice that some texts in Qumran indirectly refer to Pharisees without mentioning them. Pesher Nahum had some code names 'seekers after smooth things', which might have been referring to the Pharisees. Josephus; narratives about the relationship between Alexander Jannaeus and the Pharisees also supported such a claim.
