Arpotyrites [1]
A Christian sect in the primitive church, who celebrated the Eucharist with bread and cheese. The word is derived from "bread" and "cheese." The Artotyrites admitted women, to the priesthood and episcopacy; and Epiphanius tells us that it was a common thing to see seven girls at once enter into their church robed in white, and holding a torch in their hands; where they wept and bewailed the wretchedness of human nature, and the miseries of this life.
