This name is currently that of the plain along the Durance, it is also that of the overhanging rock to the West, the hamlet and the forest behind this rock.
Barbeinc is a Celtic word. It is found in the current Celtic languages: I bous. It is found at the origin of Bourbon, and of a certain number of spas
from Auvergne and elsewhere. These names designated healing, sacred sources, often consecrated to a Borvo - healer apollo, a variety of
Belenos. We can conclude, here, the existence of a Celtic sacred source with worship until around 200, perhaps 300. Historians say that they resisted after the collapse of Roman cults, then mystery religions. The missionaries and the first Christian bishops fought hard against this cult of springs.
The name Barbeinc no longer applies to the source. The locality is called La Salce; oblivion and disaffection have done their work. There is no trace of attendance until the 16th. The discredit cast by the first Christianization certainly contributed to this.
