Foeties

"… if one of [these gnostics], a man, prematurely ejaculates and the woman becomes pregnant, listen to the even more terrible thing that these folks dare do. As soon at it is feasible, they induce the expulson of the embryo, and take the aborted offspring and grind it up with a mortar and pestle. And they season it with honey, and pepper, and other spices, and with aromatics, so as not to nauseate themselves. Doing this, all the participants… gather together and partake with their fingers of the ground-up baby. And when… they have accomplished their act of cannibalism they pray, finally, to god… of course they consider this to be the perfect Passover.""

(St. Epiphanius, Medecine Chest Against Heresies, Chapter 26, from Bentley Layton’s The Gnostic Scriptures, pp. 207, pub. A.D. 1987)
