(Eccl. Hist.) The followers of Montanus, who, in the second century, asserted that he had received from the Holy Ghost special knowledge on points not made known to the apostles, refused to communicate with persons guilty of great crimes, and held it unlawful to fly in times of persecution. He also condemned second marriages, and enjoined the observance of three Lents. One of his most celebrated adherents was Tertullian. As Montanus was a Phrygian, his followers are sometimes called Phrygians and Cataphrygians.
