Abibas (Or Abibba)

a younger son of the Gamaliel mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles, and Ethna, his wife. He is said to have been early baptized and brought up as a Christian; to have spent his life in good works; and to have been buried in the tomb of St. Stephen at Caphargamalia, about twenty miles from Jerusalem. His body is supposed to have been found with those of his father, of Nicodemus, and of St. Stephen, Aug. 3. See Baillet, Vies des Saints, 2, 38
