(Borboritce and Borboriani, so called from βόρβορος , i. q. dirt-eaters), a sect of the Gnostics of the second century, said to be followers of the Nicolaitans. They held to Dualism and Antinomianism, and denied the last judgment and the resurrection. Epiphanius charges them with the vilest crimes.-Epiphanius, Hceres. p. 25, 26; Landon, S. V.
