Gabălus
A word said to be formed from the Hebrew language, and equivalent to the Latin crux (q. v.): a cross or stake upon which criminals were impaled (Varr. ap. Non. s. v. p. 117); whence the same word is also used to designate a worthless fellow, or one who deserved impalement (Capitol. Macrin. 11).
