What it meant

σίλλῠβος · sillybos — LSJ

parchment-label, leather case

parchment-label, appended to the outside of a book, Cic. Att. 4.4a. 1, 4.8.2, dub. in 4.5.3 (v. infr.): pl. σίλλυβα, τά, = θύσανοι, Poll. 7.64. (In Cic. Att. 4.5.3 the vv.ll. sit tybis and sic tu iubes are perh. traces of sittybis; but σιττύβαι (q.v.) has an inappropriate meaning, unless it can mean leather case of a book.)

Where it came from

No etymology authority pointer is recorded for this lemma yet — an honest gap, not an omission. The etymological dictionaries (Beekes, Chantraine, Frisk) are matched incrementally.
