a sect in the sixth century. Their first leader was Severus of Antioch; who was succeeded by John the grammarian surnamed Philoponus, and one Theodoreus whose followers were also called Theodoriani. Part of them, who were willing to receive a book composed by Theodoreus on the Trinity, made a separate body, and were called Contobaddites, from some place, which Nicephorus does not mention; but which must apparently have been the place where they held their assemblies. The Contobaddites allowed of no bishops; which is the only circumstance given us concerning them.
