Sages who followed a star (4)

I believe the answer is:

magi

(Other definitions for magi that I've seen before include "Three Wise Men from the East" , "Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar" , "men on special quest" , "Sorcerers in ancient times" , "Bearers of gold, frankincense and myrrh?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
