Sĭbylla,¹¹ æ, f. (σίβυλλα), [sens premier] femme qui a le don de prophétie,
1 nom appliqué à plusieurs prophétesses en qui les anciens reconnaissaient une inspiration divine, partant la vertu de rendre des oracles ; nott la Sibylle de Marpessos en Asie Mineure, près de l’Ida ; la Sibylle d’Érythrée en Ionie || pour les Romains il y avait la Sibylle de Tibur ( Tib. 2, 5, 69 ) ; mais c’était celle de Cumes, prêtresse d’Apollon, qui constituait le grand oracle national ; v. Virg. En. 6, 10 et passim ; Ov. M. 14, 104, etc. || sous le nom de la Sibylle circulaient des prédictions fort obscures, les vers sibyllins ; à Rome depuis Tarquin l’Ancien, il y en avait un recueil, les livres sibyllins, déposé au Capitole, et à sa garde était préposé un collège spécial de prêtres, d’abord des duumviri, puis des decemviri, enfin des quindecemviri : cf. Cic. Nat. 3, 5 ; Div. 1, 97 ; Liv. 38, 45, 3 ; Gell. 1, 19, pr. 1 ; Lact. Inst. 1, 6, 7
2 [emploi familier] une Sibylle = une devineresse : Pl. Ps. 25.
