CALOGERI, or CALOYERS, monks of the Greek church, of three orders,—the archari, or novices; the ordinary pro-
Calomet fessed, or microchemi; and the more perfect, called mega-
Calumba lochemi. They are also divided into canobites, who are
employed in reciting their offices from midnight to sunrise; anchorets, who retire and live in hermitages; and recluses,
who shut themselves up in grottos and caverns, and subsist
by alms furnished to them by the monasteries.
