Could you please rephrase the portion in the parentheses? It’s incomprehensible as it stands. At least to me.

Not the person you replied to but basically some people think that the Essene writings (rules) found at the site are of a smaller separate Damascus faction who called themselves Essenes but aren't actually related to the local Essene community that everyone knew.
