Anthropiani

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

a name which occurs in three short lists of representative heresies in Latin authors (Cyprian, Epis. 73; Lactantius, Inst. 4:20, etc.). Grabe supposes the heretics intended to be the section of Valentinians briefly noticed by Irenseus, who called the first principle of the universe " Mann.'? Schliemann (Die' Clementihen, p.475 sq.): with better reason understands the Symmachians, i.e. the Ebionites of North Africa, sometimes called Homuncionitce. They are probably also, as he suggests, the Anthropolatrae (q.v.).
