Iabe

• "It was in connection with magic that the Tetragrammaton was introduced into the magic papyri and, in all probability, into the writings of the Church Fathers, these two sources containing the following forms, written in Greek letters: (1) "Iaoouee," "Iaoue," "Iabe,";...
• It is evident that (1) represents יהוה,...
• The three forms quoted under (1) are merely three ways of writing the same word, יהוה though "Iabe" is designated as the Samaritan pronunciation. ¹

The Catholic Encyclopedia and Iabe Jabe

• The judicious reader will perceive that the Samaritan pronunciation Jabe probably approaches the real sound of the Divine name closest; the other early writers transmit only abbreviations or corruptions of the sacred name.
• Inserting the vowels of Jabe into the original Hebrew consonant text, we obtain the form Jahveh (Yahweh), which has been generally accepted by modern scholars as the true pronunciation of the Divine name.
• It is not merely closely connected with the pronunciation of the ancient synagogue by means of the Samaritan tradition, but it also allows the legitimate derivation of all the abbreviations of the sacred name in the Old Testament.

Other sources that support Iabe

• Instances of the divine name written in Greek letters, such as Iao (equivalent to Yaho), Iabe (known to the Samaritans, Theodoret century A.D., and Epiphanius), Iaoue, Iaouai (Clement of Alexandria century), and Iae also favor the form Yahweh (NWDB, 453).

• " The pronounciation Yahweh is indicated by transliterations of the name into Greek in early Christian literature, in the form iaoue (Clement of Alexandria) or iabe (Theodoret; by this time Gk. b had the pronunciation of v)" ³
