I. of Abaris, a place in Africa: harundo, Plin. 16, 36, 66, § 172.

Origins

Uncertain. Older dictionaries assumed a derivation from Abaris, but this name is now thought to be indeclinable, suggesting instead *Abar + -itānus. Perhaps from the Semitic root ʿ-b-r indicating “passage, crossing beyond”; see Arabic ع ب ر (ʕ b r), Hebrew ע־ב־ר.
