in Ecclesiastical History, the name by which the pure Arians were called in the fourth century, in contradistinction to the Semi-Arians. The word is derived from the Greek ἀνόμοιος, different, dissimilar; for the pure Arians asserted that the Son was of a nature different from, and in nothing like, that of the Father; whereas the Semi-Arians acknowledged a likeness of nature in the Son, at the same time that they denied, with the pure Arians, the substantiality of the Word. The Semi-Arians condemned the Anomoeans in the council of Seleucia; and the Anomoeans, in their turn, condemned the Semi-Arians in the councils of Constantinople and Antioch, erasing the word ὁρίζων, like, out of the formula of Rimini and that of Constantinople.
