Quintillianites

Quintillianites were an offshoot of the Caïnites, mentioned by early Christian writers. They derived their name from Quintilla (sometimes spelled Quintille), who traveled to North Africa and influenced followers there. Authors such as Tertullian noted that this group expanded upon the doctrines attributed to the Caïnites, a faction that regarded biblical figures like Cain in a contrasting theological light. The practices of the Quintillianites included rituals that departed significantly from mainstream Christian norms of the time. Sources link them to discussions on heretical movements in the early centuries CE.
