Sbelsurd

Sbelsurd or Zbelsurd, (Zbelthiourdes, Zbelthourdos, Zbelsourdos, Zbeltiurdus, Svelsurdus) is a Thracian god of heaven, lightning and rain. His name is known mainly by epigraphic monuments. The theonym of God, Sblesurd was restored with Indo-European language elements of sanskr. zveta - white, glittery and sanskr. tRntte {tRd} - split, which exactly matches the cult content as a god of lightning. The name finds iconographic coincidence with Siblesurd's image of lightning in his left hand.[1] There are 4 Latin and 11 Greek-language epigraphic testimonies for the Thracian Sablesurd.
