According to Maenchen-Helfen p.146, the lanciarii Sabarienses (which is presumably the unit you are referring to) derive their name from the town of Sabaria in Pannonia Prima ( the modern Szombathely in Hungary).
The Bituriges were a Gaulish tribe, one branch of which had its capital at Avaricum, the modern Bourges. That the tribe gave its name to a unit of catafractarii is consistent with other instances in which the name of such a unit betrays a Gaulish origin.
