Much later, the Byzantine Greek encyclopedia, "Suda" (10th century?), flatly states Sabazios ... is the same as Dionysos. He acquired this form of address from the rite pertaining to him; for the barbarians call the bacchic cry "sabazein". Hence some of the Greeks too follow suit and call the cry "sabasmos"; thereby Dionysos Sabazios. They also used to call "saboi" those places that had been dedicated to him and his Bacchantes ... Demosthenes [in the speech "On Behalf of Ktesiphon" them. Some say that Saboi is the term for those who are dedicated to Sabazios, that is to Dionysos, just as those to Bakkhos [are Bakkhoi. They say that Sabazios and Dionysos are the same. Thus some also say that the Greeks call the Bakkhoi Saboi.
