Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
(ὑδροπαραστάται , aquarii, " offerers of water"), a name given to the Encratites (q.v.) because they avoided wine, and even in the Lord's Supper used nothing but water. See Theodoret, Her. Fab. 1, c. 20; Bingham, Orig. Eccles. bk. 15: ch. 2, § 7.
