or Nabo, in Mythology, a deity of the Babylonians, who possessed the next rank to Bel or Belus. Vossius apprehends that Nabo was the moon, and Bel the sun; but Grotius supposes that Nabo was some celebrated prophet of the country; and this opinion is confirmed by the etymology of the name, signifying, according to Jerome, "one who presides over prophecy."
