We discussed Iabo transliteration by Theodoret a while ago.

Here is an article claiming that Theodoret mentioned Iao.

I don't have the referred texts at hand. Could anyone check what Theodoret 
really wrote?

Dear Vadim,

HH: The text does not say Moses was covered until the glory passed
by. God said that when the glory passed by, He would shield Moses
until He passed by. Moses would then see His back. Moses would see
the glory but would not see God's face. Moses could look at the glory
from the rear so as to avoid God's face. It was UNTIL I pass by.
God's glory is evidently not confined to His face, since the
tabernacle was filled with His glory at its construction. The
Israelites saw the glory but did not see God's face there either.

                                        Yours,
                                        Harold Holmyard
