单词 sampsaean
释义

Sampsaeann.

/sampˈsiːən/
Etymology: < Greek Σαμψαῖοι, plural + -an suffix. Epiphanius renders the name by Ἡλιακοί ‘solar’, regarding it as < Hebrew shemesh, Syriac shemshå the sun. He does not, however, accuse the Sampsæans of sun-worship, though he says they venerated water almost as a deity. Perhaps the word is from the Hebrew-Aramaic root sh-m-sh to minister.
Church History.
An adherent of a heretical sect that existed in Persia, identified by Epiphanius with the Elcesaites.
