Sergiots

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

(SERGIETS, or SERGISTS), a section of the Paulicians who held in veneration the memory and writings of one Sergius, who lived at the beginning of the 9th century. His efforts led to a division — his followers being known as Sergiots, and his opponents Baanites, after the name of their leader, Baanes. (See PAULICIANS).
