Those angels who compose the second highest of the nine choirs. The word is a Hebrew plural and according to Pope Saint Gregory, means

"the fulness of knowledge; and these sublime hosts are thus called because they are filled with a knowledge which is more perfect as they are allowed to behold the glory of God more closely."
