A vagrant class of monks among the Egyptians in the 4th century, designated Remboth. They lived together in very small communities, chiefly in cities where everything they did might attract attention. They turned religion into an art, and made a gain by the exhibition of pretended miracles. Their dress was most disgusting and their conduct immoral (Jerome, Ep. 22 ad Eustoch).
