The unnamed monk at Glastonbury Abbey who translates the mysterious book exclaims that he has "done what Tiresias, Simon Magus, Arbaces, and all the sibyls could not do" by creating a lifelike vision of a wolf [The Face in the Frost, 25].
Device Sloane uses to control his robot; no instructions for the object exist as they were probably passed down from one wizard to the next [The Eyes of the Killer Robot, 85].
A general of the Medes who served under Sardanapalus, King of Assyria, around 830 BC.
Arbaces is also another spelling for the name of the Median general, Harpagus of the 6th Century BC.
Arbaces doesn’t seem to fit in with the wizard trend of the Magus, Tiresias, or even Michael Scott. Perhaps another Arbaces exists?
