or NEBO, in mythology, a deity of the Babylonians, who possessed the next rank to Bel. It is mentioned by Isaiah, chap. xlviii. Voilus apprehends that Nabo was the moon, and Bel the sun; but Grotius supposes that Nabo was some celebrated prophet of the country; which opinion is confirmed by the etymology of the name, signifying, according to Jerom, "one that profises over prophecy."
