Hi Al,

Have you checked BDF? I imagine you've read their sections on the
declension of Semitic loanwords.  Section 141(3) lists ZenP Cairo IV
59762.6 (iii BC). 
I don't have TDNT with me; was its entry on SABBATON not helpful?

> the earliest occurrence of SABBATOS in Greek literature?  
> I am particularly interested in why this word might have been 
> carried over from Hebrew/Aramaic as an inflected form but other forms 
> (e.g., ABBA) were not.
