Note:
The headword is otherwise unattested. The term ζάβα (and Latin zaba), probably a loan from an Altaic language, occurs in historical and legislative sources from the early sixth century, and is especially frequent in late antique and Byzantine military treatises. For sources and discussion see Haldon (1975) 19-21, 37 n. 126; Kolias (1980); (1988) 37-43, 65-7.
