Ancient ascetics (7)
I believe the answer is:
essenes
'ancient ascetics' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Another definition for essenes that I've seen is " Members of an ascetic Jewish sect around the time of Jesus".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
