ABELIANI

Abeloitæ
, ab Abel Adami filio sic dicti, quod illum se imitari jactitarent, inquit S. Augustinus in Epistola ad Quod-vult-Deum. Conjuges erant, nec tamen conjugali consuetudine utebantur, sed puerum et puellam adoptabant qui mortuis eadem conditione succederent. Ab Abele dictos negat Hofmannus in Lexico : putat autem sic appellatos fuisse ab Arabico verbo תאבל Theabala, quod est Ab uxore se continere. Tradunt quippe Judæi Doctores Adamum post Abelis necem ab uxore abstinuisse per 130 annos. Quare Giggeius תאבל אדם id est Adam ab Eva se abstinuit ob necem Abelis. A simili continentia Abelianorum nomen.
