Sabians (Arabic: صابئين, Greek: Θεοσεβείς/σεβομενοι-τον θεον, Hebrew: צבאים) are aherents of religions derived from the beliefs of a community which was based in the Harran region of southeastern Anatolia and northern Syria. There are two kinds of Sabians, non-gnostic Sabians (Sābi'ūna Hunafāh) and gnostic Sabians (i.e. the Sābi'ūna Mushrukūn Sabians of Harran and Mandaean Nasaræan Sabeans). They are not to be confused with the Sabaeans of Sheba whose etymology is unrelated being spelled with an initial Arabic letter "Sin" instead of the initial letter "Sad" (though the issue was confused because at least one tribe of Sabaeans, the Ansar, are known to have adopted the religion of the Saabi`ah Hunafa`).
