ap. Cliaris ; the latter is more frequent, 
and may be considered as a collective 
plural; so that sibili are single ilissing 
sounds, sibila continued hissing.

SIBfhljX (from Sidf, h. e. Aid? fSovXit), 
te, f. a sybil, Xi/3v\\a, an ancient prophet¬ 
ess and priestess of Apollo. There were 
ten celebrated sibyls, as, at Delphi, 
Cum®, &c. The sibyl at Cum® is 
introduced Virg. JEn. 6. According 
to fable, the sibyl at Cum® once 
brought to Tarquinius Priscus, or to 
Tarquinius Superbus, nine books, for 
which she demanded three hundred 
pieces of gold; when he would not 
give this sum, she burnt three of them 
in his presence, and demanded the same 
sum for the remaining six; as he re¬ 
fused to buy them at this price, she 
threw three more into the fire, and 
asked the same sum for the three that 
were left. Upon this the king is said 
to have bought the books for the sum 
demanded. These three hooks were 
afterwards preserved as sacred, and 
other similar prophetic books of the 
other sibyls were added to them. These 
are said to be the celebrated sibylline 
books which the Romans consulted in 
dangerous times. Others give a differ¬ 
ent account. These books were at first 
committed to the care of two men ( duum¬ 
viri), afterwards of ten ( decemviri ), and 
at last of fifteen ( quindecimviri ).
