Apelles

Apelles was a mid-2nd century Gnostic Christian. He was a disciple of Marcion, probably at Rome, but left (or was expelled from) the Marcionite society because he had become intimate with a woman.

Apelles' followers, known variously as the Apellitae, Apelliacos or Apelleasts, are likewise mostly unknown.

Tertullian mentions a teaching of this sect that flesh was constructed for seduced souls by a certain 'fiery prince of evil'.

Lucianists

LUCANISTS, a sect so called from Lucianus, or Lucanus, a heretic of the second century, being a disciple of Marcion, who he followed, adding some new ones to them. Epiphanius says he abandoned Marcion, teaching that people ought not to marry, for fear of enriching the Creator.

He denied the immortality of the soul, asserting it to be material.
