Here in the genitive case; = Photios beta9. Perhaps drawn from a lost reference to an Orphic divinity Babo mentioned dismissively by Michael Psellos (2.163). Then again, the ultimate source may be Harpokration, who, however, spells the name Βαυβοῦς (also in the genitive: s.v.). This suggests that the Ba(u)bo in question is a legendary Eleusinian figure mentioned by Dinarchus in a fragmentary speech (fr. XXXV.2 Conomis; cf. Harpokration s.v. δυσαύλης , whence also delta 1598), who is perhaps identical with the Baubo mentioned in Eleusinian contexts by Clement of Alexandria, etc. (e.g. Protrepticus 2.20; cf. Mylonas 1962: 221-224). A Baubo, who may or may not be the same as Dinarchus's Baubo, Clement's Baubo and/or Psellos' Babo, shows up in magical papyri; e.g. PMG IV.2714-83, where, however, Baubo is identified as a Persian deity (cf. Faraone 1997).
