| As an instrument for the creation, preservation, and transmission of secular and religious traditions, monasticism played an important role in society, especially in those cultures that favoured cenobite institutions. |
| He retained his old habits as a cenobite, and even as a hermit. |
| That cenobite resembled a saint of course. |
| And though the cenobite realises his personality, it is often an impoverished personality that he so realises. |
| Her neatness and the exquisite care she took of her person had in them little of the cenobite. |
| A cenobite is usually a monk in a monastery, as opposed to an anchorite, who is a monk living alone. |
