Headword:
*sobaro/s
Adler number: sigma,758
Translated headword: rushing, violent, swaggering, haughty, imposing
Vetting Status: high
Translation: The name was transferred from the dominion of the Sybarites,[1] but others say from
se/bas ["awe"], and others from
sobei=n ["to scare away, to swagger"], which means to proceed with solemnity.[2]
Aelian [writes]: "[he/she] adorned the temple with impressive offerings."[3]

Notes:
[1] Same improbable etymology already at
sigma 756. (On the Sybarites, see
sigma 1271, etc.)
[2] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The adjective
sobaro/s (already
sigma 757 as well as
sigma 756, and again
sigma 759) is indeed related to the noun
se/bas (
sigma 175) and the verb
sobe/w (
sigma 761,
sigma 762), as well as to
se/bomai "feel awe, revere."

Aelian fr. 70e Domingo-Forasté (part of 67 Hercher).
