Cir'cum-cēl'ion, n.

(-sĕl'yun, or -sĕl'i-un), n. [Lat. circumcellio, wandering about from cell to cell, from circum, around, and cella, cell. Hence, a vagrant.] (Eccl. Hist.) One of a set of illiterate peasants that adhered to the Donatists in the fourth century, receiving this name because they rambled from one town to another, and pretended to public reformation and redress of grievances. They manumitted slaves without the masters' leave, forgave debts which were not their own, and committed many other unwarrantable acts. Hook.
