The Arabici were a small sect of the 3rd century, whose founder is unknown, and which is commonly named from Arabia, where it flourished, but sometimes also Thanatopsychitae, from the nature of the error.
The Arabici believed the soul was to perish with the body, though both soul and body would be revived again on Judgement Day. The Arabici theorized this from their study of I Tim., vi, 16, "Who only hath immortality." This passage, they held, ascribes immortality to God alone, and therefore prevents its possession by man. After 40 years of estrangement the Arabici were reconciled to the Church, through the persuasive mediation of Origen, at a council held in 250.
On August 19, 1915, a German submarine torpedoed without warning the British White Star Line passenger liner, Arabic, with the loss of two United States citizens. This attack occurred soon after the exchanges of notes that followed the torpedoing similarly of the RMS Lusitania in which the United States had insisted that the lives of non-combatants could not lawfully be put in jeopardy by the capture or destruction of unresisting merchants. The German act indicated that it was still uncertain whether Germany had accepted the American position. After seeking to justify the attack on the ground that the Arabic was attempting to ram the submarine, the German government disavowed the act and offered indemnity. Claims of United States citizens arising out of this and similar cases were eventually adjudicated under the Treaty of Berlin (1921) by the Mixed Claims Commission, United States and Germany, following World War I.
