Paulists - Paul is (English spelling) Paulicians

Japanese: パウロ派 - パウロは（英語表記）Paulicians

A dualistic heresy in the Byzantine Empire. Also known as the Paulician sect. Its origins are unclear, but it is certain that it arose in Armenia. It first held the doctrine of adoption, but by the time it expanded to the eastern part of the empire in the 7th century, it had adopted Manichaean dualism. The name Pauline sect is said to come from the Apostle Paul or Paul of Samosata, but it is likely named after Paul, who re-established the church at the end of the 7th century. It was subjected to persecution during the reign of Constantine IV in the second half of the 7th century, and in the first half of the 8th century, its main force migrated to the Mananari region, which was under Muslim control.

ビザンティン帝国の二元論的異端。パウリキアノイ派とも呼ばれる。起源は不明だが，アルメニアでおこったことは確実で，最初はキリスト養子論を奉じていたが，7世紀に帝国の東部に拡大したころには，マニ教的二元論を採用していた。パウロ派の名称は使徒パウロまたはサモサタのパウロスに由来するとされるが，7世紀末の教団再建者パウロスの名をとったものであろう。7世紀後半のコンスタンティノス4世の時代に弾圧にさらされ，8世紀前半には主力がイスラム教徒支配下のマナナリ地方に移住した。
