Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Ἰεζάβελ [page 299] Schόrer s suggestion ( Theol. Abhandlungen Weiszδcker gewidmet , p. 39 ff.) that the Jezebel or Isabel of Rev_2:20 was the local prophetess of the shrine of Sambethe the Chaldean Sibyl at Thyatira (cf. CIG 3509), which led to Nestle s highly doubtful identification of the names Isabel and Sibyl ( Berl. Phil. Woch. 1904, p. 764 ff : has not been received with much favour (see e.g. Bousset and Moffatt ad l. ). On the proposed etymologies of the Heb. name see EB 2457, and for form Zezabel see Souter ad Rev_2:20 .
