Commentary
sabi, attested in Latin script, may be an abbreviation, but is probably a genitive (cf. cesii, pusionis, )antionis, onesi). The grammar may be Latin, and the base is not likely to be Celtic either. Kretschmer 1905: 125 notes the many names in sab- attested in the Ligurian area – cf. the topo- and hydronyms listed in AcS II: 1267–1272; while some of Holder's forms in sab- may be Celtic (e.g. CIL XIII 2761 sabius), the overall picture speaks against it (cf. Meid 2005: 281). If the form is an abbrevation, Latin sabinus (attested in Castellamonte, s. Untermann 1960; 294) can be compared. A connection with sapsutai, suggested by Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 146, is improbable due to /s/ in the latter form.
