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.
