or CALOTERS, monks of the Greek church, of three orders,—the archari, or novices; the ordinary pro- fessed, or microchemi; and the more perfect, called mega- lochemi. They are also divided into cenobites, who are employed in reciting their offices from midnight to sunrise; anchorites, 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.
