Sabaens or Sabeans Explanation: Sabean (from Greek sabaios, ancient kingdom in southwestern Arabia), of or relating to the ancient people and kingdom of Saba (Sheba) flourishing in southwestern Arabia from about 950 to 115 B.C. The Arabic name/word, as-Sahb'-oon, or as-Sabi-a (Sabaean), is explained as those who leave their religion for another; or those who worship planets and claim to be descendents of Noah. A 'second' possibility means: renegade; apostate (as you mentioned); members of a Judeo-Christian Gnostic sect. There's also the VERY remote possibility (if it was not for your explanation) that it is: SABINES, members of an ancient people of the Apennines northeast of Latium (Italy). __________________________________________________ PS Apparently, the same message is posted TWICE on the Arabic-English -just a little mix-up Webster's 3rd International Dictionary, al-Mu'jam al-WaSeet Arabic-Arabic dictionary, al-Mughni al-Waseet (Arabic-English), Cambridge pb Encyclopedia, webster's Collegiate |
