in Ecclesiastical History, monks of the Greek church, divided into three degrees: the novices, called archari; the ordinary professed, called michrochemi; and the more perfect, called megalochemi. They are likewise divided into cenobites, anchoretes, and recluses. The cenobites are employed in reciting their offices from midnight to sunset; they are obliged to make three genuflexions at the door of the choir, and, returning, to bow to the right and to the left, to their brethren.
