(a priv. and γνώμη), in Church History, a sect who condemned marriage and the use of flesh, as not instituted by God, but introduced at the instigation of the devil. They are sometimes also called Agymenes, and Agynii; and are said to have appeared about the year 694. It is not surprising that they soon became extinct. Their tenets coincide in a great measure with those of the Abelians, Gnostics, Ceremonians, and other preachers of chastity and abstinence.
