Ab hoc abaci vasa omnia, ut exposita fuerunt, abstulit. (From this place he removed all the sideboard's dishes, since they had been exposed.) [70 BCE, Cicero, In Verrem II.4.35]
...nec qui abaco numeros et secto in pulvere metas / scit risisse vafer, multum gaudere paratus, / si cynico barbam petulans nonaria vellat. (...nor the man who has the wit to laugh at the figures on the counting board and the cones drawn in sand, ready to go off in ecstasies if a prostitute pulls a Cynic by the beard.) [c. 62 CE, Persius, Saturae I.131]
Sed cum inter initia imperii eburneis quadrigis cotidie in abaco luderet, ad omnis etiam minimos circenses e secessu commeabat, primo clam, deinde propalam, ut nemini dubium esset eo die utique affuturum. (But in the early stages of his rule he used to play every day on a gaming board with ivory chariots. He would also travel from his retreat to the Circus games, even the least important ones, at first in secret and then openly. As a result, no one was in any doubt that he would be present in Rome that day at least.) [121 CE, Suetonius, De vita Caesarum Vita Neronis 22]
Hoc autem et Attico ad lumina utuntur, ad abacos non nisi marmoroso, quoniam marmor in eo resistit amaritudini calcis. (This and the Attic sort they used for high lights, for panels none but the marmorean kind, because the marble in it resists acridity of the lime.) [77 CE – 79 CE, Plinius Maior, Naturalis Historia XXXIII.56]

From Ancient Greek ἄβαξ (ábax, “board”). See: Ancient Greek Nouns 'ἄβαξ'.
