Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from the alternate of G2203 and a form of the base of G2877; sons of Jupiter, i.e. the twins Dioscuri:—Castor and Pollux.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
