Persian Sibyl

Nicanor, who wrote a life of Alexander, mentions her.

[1] The Persian Sibyl has had at least three names: Sambethe, Helrea[2] and Sabbe.

[4] The Persian Sibyl by Guercino hangs in the Capitoline Museum in Rome.

Pausanias, pausing at Delphi to enumerate four sibyls, mentions a "Hebrew sibyl": there grew up among the Hebrews above Palestine, a woman who gave oracles named Sabbe, whose father was Berosus and her mother Erymanthe.

[5][6][7] The medieval Byzantine encyclopedia, the Suda, credits the Hebrew Sibyl as the author of the Sibylline oracles, a collection of texts of c. the 2nd to 4th century which were collected in the 6th century.
