Campitre (Also Campates And Campenses) <ref name="term_29810" />
<p> Campitre (Also Campates And Campenses) </p> <p> is the name of a small congregation of [[Donatists]] at Rome, mentioned by [[Jerome]] and others, and called also [[Montenses]] (q.v.) and Rupitani. [[Optatus]] says that their first bishop was [[Victor]] of Numidia, and that no church in Rome was open to him. He therefore surrounded a cave outside the city with wattles, and used it for a conventicle. Jerome says they- met on a mountain. The three names seem to have been derived from campus, mons, and rupes, in allusion to their places of meeting </p>
