Commentary

Manichaean name from the Middle Persian *Īšu-bag 'Jesus-God'. The etymology is owed to D. Weber apud Schmidt 1978b (quoted after Tremblay 2005: 437). Because of the penultimate syllable stress, the nominative should be reconstructed iśśapāke* rather than iśśapake* (as in Adams 2013a: 73).
