(χειμαζόμενοι , exposed to the winter; i.e. tempest-tossed), a name given by. Greek, writers to daemoniacs, or energumens, possessed with an evil spirit. Some, however, consider the term to apply to such penitents as, from the heinousness of their crimes, were not only expelled from the communion, but cast out of the very court of the church, and put to do penance in the open air, exposed to the inclemency of the weather.
